interactive is best
"the interactive stuff is so much better than reading. failed my first go but passed today with flying colours thanks to the mocks."
highly recommed
"failed my 1st try cuz the material is just overwhelming. this broke down all the tricky regulations perfectly. highly recommed!"
Finally passed my retake!
"failed twice before finding this... the interactive quizzes are a lifesaver tbh."
Interactive training was the missing piece
"ngl failed the first time cuz I just couldnt get through the massive pdf. using the flashcards here actually helped me remeber the rules lol. passed yesterday!"
Mock exams are scary accurate
"The mocks literally have the same trap style questions from the real exam?? Like two answers that look identical but ones got a slightly diffrent threshold. After doing 3 full mocks here I started spotting them strait away. Also love that numeric values like reporting deadlines and penalty amounts are drilled seperately - those are free marks if u memorise them. Got 82% first attempt."
Mandatory for my AD job
"Workin at a bank in abu dhabi and this was mandatory. The mocks are weirdly close to the real thing... Recommend for anyone in the same boat."
