It is EXPECTED that you study for these tests, as written in the official OACP documentation. They suggest using practice sites that are accurate. Cognitive Results has been offering preparation since 2005, and online preparation since 2010. We have always promptly revised our material as changes occur in the industry. Trust our materials to prepare you and help you determine your weak areas to reinforce.
