Very thorough

March 16, 2026

Very in depth and helpful, but I’m still not sure where the practice questions are. Taking the test with a proxy examiner on a video feed is not something I want to chance using guest WIFI in a library or somewhere besides my home. Figuring out an empty room, or a blocked out room in my house is my best option, but seems extreme.
