I used
www.selftestsoftware.com as well. thats the one recommened by the
traingn facility i go to. i think elftest is called kaplansoftware or

competing products so i can't compare. i found selftest question to be real
goo cause they teach you to look at the questions and filter out the extra
junk they ms is putting in there to confuse you.
