Ratings and reviews

First I was a 1 star and left a bad review on how its terms were not correct. But they responded to my review within 30 minutes saying they would fix it. So I would be cautious, but if it seems legit after the update I would highly recommend it. It is very user friendly and has a very good layout for studying.

Way too many ads, The test keeps glitching, and there needs to be a feature on WHY it's incorrect

Amazing practice, but the ads are so annoying.
