Only if you have an older Tech license that included Element 3 as part of the test which predates the easier Element 2 only "codeless tech" license now being granted. You must pass element 3 (General written test) for the General license if you currently have an Element 2 only codeless tech license. At least this what I have heard and how I interpret what the ARRL is doing.
EDIT: Nope, I was wrong... only new applicants need to pass Element 3. Wow, it looks like it's true that existing Techs that only passed Element 2 will be upgraded to General. Hmmm, that just doesn't seem right that you don't need Element 3 knowledge to be upgraded to a General class license.
