CAROC — Canadian Amateur Radio Operator Certificate Exam Prep

Prepare for your Canadian Amateur Radio Operator Certificate exam with confidence. CAROC is built specifically for the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) certification process, covering both the Basic and Advanced qualification exams.

REAL ISED EXAM QUESTIONS

Practice with the official ISED question banks used to generate the actual certification exams. Every question is sourced directly from the published Basic and Advanced databases, so you study exactly what you'll be tested on — no surprises on exam day.

FLEXIBLE QUIZ MODES

Choose how you want to study:

• Sample Quiz — Try 10 free questions to get a feel for the exam format before you commit.

• Quick Quiz — A shorter, timed session that pulls questions proportionally from every exam section.

• Full Quiz — Simulate the complete exam experience with the full question count and passing threshold.

• Topic Quiz — Focus on specific sections where you need the most practice. Select individual topics and drill until you're confident.

All quiz modes use proportional section weighting to mirror the real exam structure, so your practice sessions reflect what you'll actually face.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

After each quiz, review your score, see whether you passed the 70% threshold, and check if you've achieved honors on the Basic exam. CAROC tracks your quiz history over time with charts showing your last 12 attempts for each quiz type. Watch your average score climb as you study.

Review your incorrect answers after every session to understand where you went wrong. Each question shows the correct answer highlighted alongside your selection, so you can learn from your mistakes immediately.

BOOKMARK DIFFICULT QUESTIONS

Mark questions during a quiz to flag topics you want to revisit. Bookmarked questions appear in your topic review, helping you build a personalized study plan around your weak areas.

BUILT-IN MORSE CODE TRAINER

While Morse code proficiency is no longer required for the Basic qualification, it remains a valuable skill for amateur radio operators. CAROC includes a complete Morse code training system:

• Character Drills — Practice recognizing individual letters and numbers sent in Morse code audio. Choose between multiple-choice and text-entry input modes.

• Koch Method Lessons — Learn Morse code progressively using the proven Koch curriculum. Start with two characters and unlock new ones as you achieve 90% accuracy, building speed and confidence gradually.

• Adjustable Settings — Set your preferred words-per-minute speed, tone frequency, and volume. Enable Farnsworth spacing for extra time between characters while you're learning.

• Reference Chart — A complete A-Z and 0-9 Morse code chart with audio playback for every character.

• Progress Tracking — View your cumulative accuracy, total characters practiced, and per-character performance to identify which letters need more work.

CAROC is a straightforward study tool. No social features, no ads, no distractions. Open the app, pick a quiz or training mode, and start learning. Your progress is stored locally on your device.
