Balancing work and study seemed impossible, but PrepHow's e-book made it manageable. The sections on wound assessment and pressure injury staging were exactly what I needed. The practice questions on infection management and biofilm were spot-on with the actual exam. Studied for 6 weeks and passed on my first attempt!

I failed my first attempt and was frustrated. PrepHow's practice questions broke down complex topics like negative pressure wound therapy and diabetic foot ulcers in a way that finally clicked. The skin anatomy review and wound measurement techniques were clearer than any resource I'd used before. Passed with confidence the second time!"
