What your students practice
The New Zealand amateur radio exam leads to the General Amateur Operator's Certificate of Competency (GAOC) and a ZL callsign, which together let you transmit under the General User Radio Licence for Amateur Radio Operators. Radio Spectrum Management (RSM, part of MBIE) sets the rules, and the syllabus is the international HAREC syllabus. NZART runs the exam through RSM-approved Approved Radio Examiners (ARXs): each paper has 60 multiple-choice questions, one drawn from every ten in a public 600-question bank across 30 topics, with 2 hours allowed, and 40 or more correct answers pass. A calculator may be used. A pass is recorded on an exam result notice, then the ARX issues the certificate and callsign. Only New Zealand citizens and permanent residents can normally be granted a GAOC.
Tigertest's practice follows NZART's 2025 Examination Procedure and Study Guide (19/10/2025), RSM PIB 46 Issue 19.1 (July 2025) and the General User Radio Licence for Amateur Radio Operators Notice 2025, checked November 2026. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

Questions teachers ask
Is the NZ Amateur Radio class free?
Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.
Do my students need accounts?
No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.
What do I see as the teacher?
Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the NZ Amateur Radio topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.
Can I use my own questions too?
Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
