What makes getting the license worth it is the ability to practice and learn and get your setup working. There are a lot of details to work out. Ham gear is aimed at hobbyist, so it's not like plug-and-play box store electronics. If you think you can just set up a radio and use it during an emergency, you may be in for some disappointment.

That’s what I’m finding out...I see the ham radio for dummies videos and I have no clue what they’re talking about. May have to invest.
There are some study/practice apps. This is the one I'm using (yup, I still haven't found the time to get a license myself...)

It's simple and lets you take practice tests. The question pool is defined, so it's the exact same questions and answers that will be on the test.
