Re-release of the 2006 Element 2 Technician Class Question Pool

February 6, 2006

To all interested parties: The QPC strives to maintain the highest standards of accuracy in
the question pools provided by this committee, but unfortunately, as in many human endeavors,
perfection is an elusive goal. A few additional errors were discovered in the 2006 Element 2 pool
after the initial release. Most of these errors were simple typographic problems, but in at least 3
cases the errors were significant enough that the QPC decided to remove the entire question from
the pool. In 3 more cases, a question was substantially re-worded.

Accordingly, the 2006 Element 2 pool is being re-released to the public on this date.
Previous versions should not be used in any form, and should be discarded entirely. Only the
version dated February 6, 2006 is to be used. Hopefully, no additional errors will be discovered,
but if that should happen, then any subsequent changes will be handled by deletion of the affected
question.

The Question Pool Committee apologizes to all users for this second release of the question
pool and any inconvenience it might have caused.

The following questions have been removed. Subsequent questions in the affected sections
are not to be renumbered.

T3B11
T5D06
T6B09
T7A08

There are 392 questions in this pool. There are no graphics files required for this pool.
As before, this pool will become effective for examinations given on or after July 1, 2006, and will
be valid until June 30, 2010.

If you have an issue with any particular question, please send your input to the question
pool committee using the following email address: [e-mail]
Do not send input to the QPC members or assistants directly. When making submissions, please
include the question number(s) involved, and a brief explanation of what you think is incorrect.

You may also use this address to send in comments, criticisms, and suggestions for new
questions or changes to the topic areas for any of the pools. Please make sure the subject line in
your message includes a reference to which pool you are addressing.

This document is intended to be used for general reference. VECs that require an editable
version of the pool, or need the pool in a different format, should access the NCVEC web-site:

www.ncvec.org to obtain downloadable versions of this file. Several different formats are

available.
