Excellent content. It was directly related to my test. Study.com really did a good job at getting to the meat and potatoes of the content.

This service is fantastic! Not only did I passed all the exams I was studying for, I learned something from my studies rather than just memorizing boring facts to be lost in a brain dump later. The content, context, and multiple modes of representation they provide is highly effective and enjoyable!

If it wasn't for Study.com I would not have known exactly what it was that I needed to study. It most DEFINITELY was the reason I passed my three super challenging tests!
