Student Testimonial:
I learn a lot every session, especially with the mnemonics and tables he shares with us. The sessions help me organize my thoughts and eliminate the wrong answers when solving difficult questions. What I find beneficial is reading the questions out loud and dissecting them together as well as discussing why every option is wrong.
