Yes, but not exactly. To copy exact questions and answers would infringe on their proprietary rights. However, there is only a limited amount of information to use, so questions and answers will surely overlap here and there.
Maybe. A lot of Technicians have passed only using my products, however, it depends on your knowledge, experience, test taking abilities and actual work ethic that you put towards studying. Keep in mind, practice exams and flashcards are only tools to help provide you feedback on your current preparation levels. If you see areas you are weak in, then that is meant to drive you back to studying the HSPA manual.
I could attempt to answer that, but I'd rather let all the 5 star reviews do that for me. 😉 But seriously. I ensure my practice exams are always up to date with the latest HSPA manuals and test versions to ensure you have the greatest content available to pass on your first attempt.
No. With digital practice exams, it's easy for someone to gain access, take the exams, and then ask for their money back. That's not equitable for anyone. If you are uncertain about this product, you can access the Free Practice Tests to get a feel and see if you like the platform and format.
Both. The practice exams are designed from the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition, however, the content is the same for both agency exams.
No, there is not an offline option. You must have access to internet.
No. It is completely a digital product.
