"passed last month. tbh i was skeptical because ive tried random quizlet decks before and they never felt like the real thing. the practice questions on cdcesexam.com actually matched the style of what showed up on test day, especially the care and education stuff. quiet relief when i saw that pass screen."

"i kept second-guessing myself on assessment questions and it was defintely a weak spot going in. what helped was being able to see which question types i kept getting wrong and going back to those specifically. four hours is a long time to sit with your anxiety but i passed so cant complain."
