Fair Review by Chris

Overall

I did not find this of any use. A discipline specific option would be better. (Posted on 2/20/13)

Glad to have this resource Review by Sandra

Overall

Preparing to take the SE exam for the second time, I am glad to have more resources available than the first time around. Working to make this attempt much more successful than the previous. A comprehensive study guide for the SE written by Michael Lindeburg would be like a gift from heaven. (Posted on 12/17/12)
