James Jackson
Overall review is good. Enjoyed the pre-test which took me an hour and then used 45 minutes to review. I tend to be a slow reader so others most likely can expect to complete faster. The results of the pre-test provided good explanations and links to modules for learning and for some provided links to additional reading on the internet. I found the explanations well suited for a beginner and for those who have been away from break/fix was a good refresher.
