What people are saying
A great learning tool and life saver! - Passed Dec 2020
The SOA modules do not prepare you for this exam. Sam’s course helped me to pass even though I started it pretty late. I only purchased the course on October 28th and sat for the exam on December 7th (preferably leave yourself more time.) I passed with a 7. I actually thought the SOA modules and examples would get me there. When I got near the end of the modules I realized how underprepared I was and signed up for Sam’s course. The course tells you what you need to know and HOW to effectively study for the exam. It has a clear schedule. The way he teaches writes and explains things is easy to understand. - Passed Dec 2020
I almost exclusively used ExamPA.net for studying for PA, and I basically crammed it all in two days and I got an 8! - Passed June 2020
I found that the with its focus on hands on training, the course delivers a significant boost to meeting all the learning requirements for the PA exam - Passed Dec 2019
Buy 👏 this 👏 course 👏 This course is the reason I passed in December. I wouldn't have been able to prepare at all on my own, and I wouldn't have even been willing to TRY and sit for the December exam if it weren't this product. I passed after only studying for 2.5 months because Sam is really THAT GOOD - Passed Dec 2019
The videos really helped my understanding of topics. Especially being able to hear the thought process while doing a question. Also, the tips on exam setting and how to save time were really helpful. - Passed June 2020
