When I was studying for my exam, I struggled trying to find my way and sift through all of the information alone. I finally
realized that my sense of aimless wandering through stacks of psychology texts was not the way to go to ensure success,
so I contacted AATBS and purchased the Platinum Package. I attended the seminar in Dallas, TX. I completed every
examination in TestMASTER and I thoroughly studied the written material. On the TestMASTER Final Examination, I
scored 90%. I was a bit apprehensive about the final examination outcome because I was not sure if I had memorized
TestMASTER questions or material, a potentially devastating distinction.
I took the EPPP for the first time, and passed with a score of 644 or 90%. I was shocked. I owe a great deal of credit
in assisting me to narrow my studies and learn the information to AATBS. I have to let you know that passing the
examination means so much to me and my family, and I really believe that if I had gone it alone I would not have been
successful. Thanks.
