I attended many reviews in different areas and received all sorts of study guides. Not to mention the ones that I purchased. This study guide is far superior to any others that I have read. The use of Mr. Mentze's acronyms are excellent. DO NOT pass this one up! This one is a must and place it at the top of your list!
