The amount of information to explain each question/answer is unbelievable. I felt this type of learning was much faster, easier, and more comprehensive than any other platform. I don’t like watching videos, especially when it takes ten minutes to put out information I could’ve of read in ninety seconds. I felt very confident I passed 🙂

Taking these practice exams I realized that I didn’t know nearly everything I needed to pass the exam. All of the answer explanations provided so much good information and I was able to pass the real exam on my first try.
