Electronic VE Testing Setup
TLDR: As a VE group, to simplify and expedite our process we moved from a paper based setup to Chromebooks and online testing through exam tools. Testing Background To get an Amateur Radio license individuals need to pass a test administered by a group of Volunteer Examiners (VE). Our group has given these tests under the ARRL VEC for many years. We have found handling all of the paperwork (forms and exams) to be time consuming.
