I studied on the HAM test prep app, found a local club and passed in about 6 weeks. The questions are multiple choice and are identical to the app so if you just want to memorize it all you can. There is no Morse code to deal with and the test is only $10.
The ham club was mostly old men and farmers. I'm in a rural area so there are only a few repeater to listen to nearby and conversation is mostly health issues and gardening but it is what it is.
