"put off studying for the 401k section way too long and crammed the last two weeks. the practice questions on rpaprep.com saved me honestly, kept missing the same stuff on plan sponsor duties until it clicked. passed first try, still kinda shocked."

"was skeptical about doing another online prep thing after wasting money on study guides that just repeat the textbook. this one actually broke down where i was weak, spent most of my time on fiduciary oversight since that was my worst area. got thru the exam with room to spare."
