  Testimonials                                 

 I just wanted to write a quick "thank you" note to both of you for the SBL prep session you held in late June. Taking both parts of the test in one day was as grueling as you had both indicated it would be and I would have found it difficult to be successful without the insights and strategies on the exam you both shared. Thanks to your prep course, I was well prepared for both exams, especially the Community Engagement Performance Task on part II and managed to pass both portions. Thanks again to both of you. -Sean O.

                                                                                             ​

​I wanted to thank you very much for the study group you provided in July. I passed both parts of the SBL. Thanks again. Your workshop really helped me. Best to you both. -Mark C.                                                                                ​

​

After failing to pass the SBL twice in the past year, I got my report today which had "PASS" on both of Parts 1 & 2 (I took them the same day) after taking your class!!!!!! I would like to thank you and Dr. O'Connor for putting together a tremendously helpful one evening course. It really helped me bridge the gap. I could not have done it without your help. This is such a weight off my shoulders. Thank you very much! Ron M.
