Passed on my second try

I failed my first attempt using just the textbook. I bought this course for my retake, and it made a huge difference. The summaries explain ISA rules simply. I passed easily.

Flashcards are a lifesaver

This exam asks for a lot of specific numbers and limits. The flashcards helped me memorize all of them easily. I knew every key number for the test.
