Hi Jack, thank you for your feedback — we understand your frustration. Our materials have helped many students successfully pass their exams, though we recognize that everyone learns differently. If you could share some specific examples or areas of the training that didn't feel aligned with the test, that feedback would be very helpful as we continue to improve!

Waste of money
The actual test had no resemblance to the test prep. I learned how to navigate the book, that's it. Maybe one day 10 years ago the course was relevant, but it's apparently never been updated to reflect the current test. Definitely do not pay extra for the video course unless you enjoy watching somebody read the course to you in a really unentertaining way. I passed the test, but the test prep was zero help.

Hi Eric, thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your concern — our materials have helped many others pass their exams, but we know everyone learns differently. If you could share some specific examples or explanations of where the training didn't align with the actual test, we'd genuinely welcome that feedback as we work to improve!
