There might be others that people recommend, but hamstudy.org is free.

Is there a recommended website to take practice tests for
getting a HAM License

I recommend HamTestOnline (https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com).

It's all web browser based, with nothing to download or install
on your computer. They not only cover the questions, but they
explain the concepts (as to why the answer is what it is), so you
are learning something, and not just memorizing answers.

When you get to 80% studying, start taking practice tests. When
you start scoring 85% or better consistently, you are ready for
the real thing.

But, while it is a subscription service (the fee is determined on
how many exams you want to take), they do offer a money back guarantee
if you fail the exam. So, you get your ham radio license or your money back...you can't lose.

I studied 2 hours a day for 2 weeks, and went from Technician to
General in 14 days, and General to Amateur Extra 13 days later. It was
the best money that I ever spent in amateur radio.

I bought the Gordon West book and I need to study it so I can get my
General Upgrade.

Matt,

I bought the Gordon West book and I need to study it so I can
get my General Upgrade.

The General Class license is the one that most hams operating HF,
hold.

Except for 500 kilohertz of spectrum on 80, 40, 20, and 15 meters,
you have full amateur privileges with a General Class license...far
more than what the Technician Class license offers.

There are 5 reasons one might want to upgrade to Amateur Extra,
the top of the line, as follows:

1) Full amateur radio privileges, although you still have to stay
at least 500 kilohertz away from the band edges on HF, to avoid
going out of band.

2) Access to the 2x1 or 1x2 callsigns...IF you're LUCKY enough to
get one...you may have to settle for a 2x2 callsign.

3) With a CEPT license in traveling overseas, you have full amateur
privileges.

4) As a Volunteer Examiner (VE), you can give and grade ALL of the
exams (Technician, General, and Amateur Extra), and NOT just the
Technician Class exam.

5) Snob appeal (hi hi).

While I had to upgrade to Amateur Extra to be a VE Team Leader,
when I'm on the air, I stay in the Technician Class bands, as I
enjoy them.
