Reviews

Everything I needed to know about the test… the book clarified what the Examiner is looking for and made sure there were no grey areas… I passed with just two minors…
Ethan, 17, Learner

I really think it’s exactly what people are looking for… the amount of time we use up with the candidate asking questions about what to expect and this book answers every possible scenario… it would calm nerves and puts what to expect into black and white…
Lewis, ADI

This book gives me the confidence to answer my pupils’ questions and prepare them thoroughly for test… there was so much I didn’t know… thank you for making our job easier…
