Frustrating

July 14, 2025

After completing Sample 1 exam, Sample 2 exam is locked! I’m currently in a chat with Karla who is no help, she says someone will contact me, but that is not true! At this point I’m just ready to take my Exam that I paid for, but seems like this could be a scam!

Well organized, thoughtfully delineated material!

July 14, 2025

I appreciate the concise way the slides were put together, the pace of the narrator, the systematic way the content was organized, the review sections along the way, and hope the structure of the exam follows suit! There are many companies who offer this course, and I don’t know how they compare, but this one was really great.

Time

It took about two hours, taking notes to get to the exam. Should allow at least that amount of time. A lot of questions were harder than I thought they would be.
