I’m not sure how this app is accurate, simple & effective along with FREE? But I’m so grateful. Getting professional qualifications can be so expensive & daunting to tackle. This test taking, review-type app has been so extremely helpful. The structure of the app is so intuitive. It definitely helps with giving you an understanding of why something is wrong / right & making sure it sticks. Absolutely love it & I'm so grateful.
