On 2011-07-04, I was certified as radio amateur. I gained the certificate “Amateurfunkzeugnis der Klasse E” ( “CEPT Novice Radio Amateur Licence ECC/REC (05)06” ):
- Technology proficiency: 81 of 102 points ( 34 questions, 7 wrong answers, 79% correct answers ).
- Operationional proficiency : 96 of 102 points ( 34 questions, 2 wrong answers, 94% correct answers ).
- Proficiency in Rules and regulations: 84 points of 102 points ( 34 questions, 6 wrong answers, 82% correct answers ).
- 75% correct answers ( equivalent to 8 wrong answers for a test with 34 questions ) is the minium to pass each of the 3 tests, successfully.
The introductory amateur radio course at DARC e.V. - Ortsverband H13 - Hannover ( 2010-09-16 - 2011-04-11 ) prepared me well for the certification test!

It's like with business calling cards: Because of changes in your life ( relocation, new call sign → after upgrading the amateur radio license from class E to class A, new phone number, new website URL,... ) most of the cards will never be distributed. If you buy 500, you will put 450 into garbage. If you buy 1000, you will put 950 into garbage...
