The Big Picture
The sample questions and the explanations that come with them are oriented to help test candidates understand the “big picture “ of the test, not just the content of the question.

Second to none! So far this is the best thing on the market!
I've been working to obtain my license for a while and for a number of reasons it has alluded me. Now, I feel I have the opportunity I need with the level of study aids Black Spectacles offers and the level of quality they have. It is truly helpful for me to be able to test with exam like questions and have the ability to review answers on line. I think the lecture series is the best I have ever seen. All of the segments are short and are of very high quality. Being able to down load the transcript to take notes is another feature that I like and it is very helpful. With Black Spectacles I believe my journey to obtain my license is coming to an end and I am excited about that! Thanks Black Spectacles!

This program is incredible
This program is incredible. The platform is easy to follow and very well thought out. I cannot say enough. The practice exams are set up identical to the actual exam allowing you to feel comfortable and confident in the exam seat. The questions are not the same, obviously, but the layout is. Also, the practice questions really help you to identify your own shortcomings, helping you become more efficient in your studies. Its great!!!
