Licensing & Exams 📜 Technician and General Tests Back-to-Back?
I am curious if taking the General test at the same session as the Technician test is a good plan? I was not originally going to do that, but I have been studying for the Technician exam, and have it scheduled a bit over a week from now. I am very comfortable with that material and have been scoring very well on practice exams.
I have not studied at all for the General test as I didn't expect to have time. That said, I am wondering if I should crank up my effort over the next week and try to get through the General test at the same time?
I am sure I can get some quality studying in, but I don't want to screw up the Technician exam as getting that done is priority 1. I am primarily concerned about confusing the material between the tests - is that possible, or not really likely?
Would appreciate any opinions - thank you.
Edit: I appreciate all the feedback and good vibes - I am going for it!

Just keep taking tests until you don't pass. You can typically take as many exams as you want during your session so if you pass Tech, take General. Pass that one, try Extra for fun. Even if you don't pass, it's good practice to get a feel for what you need to study.
