The questions of the practice exams are great. However it should be pointed out that some of the material to read can only be read trough a 5 dollar membership to a newspaper. The content is great but this should be in the description of the course. Do note that I bought membership and passed the exam but still was not expecting that because I paid for the course which should be self contained.
