Here’s what Debbie says:

“I used uCertify’s kits for taking the first two CIW exams and passed with scores that were much higher than I actually needed. These were reasonably priced, compared to what I paid for the book I bought prior to learning about uCertify. One thing I especially liked was the tracking page that displayed how well you were doing – it would show you when you were getting closer to obtaining that passing grade.

The best thing about the kit was the large number of sample tests. The two I bought came with 5 and 8 built-in tests, respectively, but the best feature was the ‘create test’ function that let you pull together any number of questions from the entire pool of questions for all topics on the test. So, you can create a customized test based only on the things you need to improve. And the review sections show wrong answers and explanations for every test you take. For me, it’s much better and more engaging than just studying from a book.”
