Everything comes down to this. You've gone through the lessons, you've studied with f riends and a tutor, you've done the practice exams, but everything boils down to this - the Exam.

EXAM SEASON is upon us. Seasonal students you've never seen before are migrating out of the woodworks and into your classes. (If you don't know who I'm talking about it's probably you - and from all of us, welcome to class.)
