Do they require you to also take the General class license as a prerequisite for the Extra? When I passed the test for General, they offered to let me take the Extra test but I hadn’t studied for it.

You do still have to pass the General Exam but on his personal page he said that he did both the General and Amateur Extra at the same testing session so I counted them as one…but he did in fact have to pass two.

Yes, you must pass the general exam before taking the amateur extra exam.
