During these seven-week online courses, students will receive the study guides, dedicated and experienced RP Instructors, pre- and post-quizzes each week for all domains covered on the exams, as well as instructor assessments. The courses culminate with “mock” exams with personal instructor feedback on domain strength and weaknesses. We also cover test-taking techniques and ethics which is a huge part of the exam.
