gmetrix - I've created a new code for your test prep, which I'll share with you in all in class. Please use this code from now on so I can see what you've completed and help you with gaps. I recommend you attempt & complete EACH of the "core project" and "core testing" sets from the question pool. You can take them in training mode first, but then do try them in the testing mode.
