Gabriela Passed the L&E!

April 12, 2018 | success stories | law & ethics exam | bbs

I passed my CA Law & Ethics Exam last week. Thanks to SWTP for providing the rationale to every question. My strategy was to make sure that I read and understood the rationale so I could apply it to any question that was on the test. Thank you!
