Great book!

By HelenoPaiva - February 13, 2013

I have had this book and another one: a book with previous exams commented - there are a lot of them around amazon. I read this one quite fast, it is a short but precious book. it helped me a lot during my exam.
The exam itself is not so tough. It took me 2 weeks studying for it, preparing for the long 8-hours of exams [Be aware that the exam is changing its shape this year- 2013], but in the end i managed to pass on my first try.
I am not sure if maybe i got lucky, but if you are confident with your skills, if you are capable of writing (i mean writing essays like in college) and if you can write/read a lot and fast - you have god chances with this exam.
In the worst case scenario: this is exam is up every year. If you failed once, you can try the next year.
Good luck!

Talk about efficiency

I couldn't believe my eyes yesterday when I checked my mail box and saw the book. I live in Brazil and it took, believe it or not, just 8 days!!
The best experience ever!
