When asked how Mrs. Curatola helped him prepare for the exam, James stated, “Mrs. Curatola provided us resources, such as the geometrics site, that contained practice tests based on the actual format of the certification exam. These practice tests assisted in my remembering of information that we learned at the beginning of the course.”
