Morse was dropped in 2000!
Get with a local ARRL club. Get a test prep book. Got my General in 6 hours study.

It’s easy. Good luck
“..Morse was dropped in 2000...”
Yep. But it’s still good to know, a lot of fun and a lot of the older HAMs still use it.
Plus, ya never know.....it may come to the point that it’s the only way we’ll be able to communicate again IF space aliens take over the world.....LOL. :)
When I went for my Extra Class it was still required. I liked to never have passed it. Finally, on the 3rd attempt, I jut barely made it.
You're clearly "one of the smart ones" who's kinda wired for the hobby. It took me about 3 hours of study to pass my Tech and another 6 or so to pass my General.
Took my Advanced test once, missed by two questions and haven't tried since. That was at least three years ago now. Since the bands frankly suck lately, haven't bothered much studying again.
