Really glad I took the A+ before this one because i understood a lot more better all the concepts. From previous experience with Mike's courses I can tell you, hands down the information is rock solid for the test, explanation method is unique. Probably should go through everything another time, just to be on the safe side !! Great job and keep up the good work !
