Just passed my Certified Paralegal exam and honestly, Examsdr's practice tests were a game changer. The questions on legal research and civil litigation were super similar to what I saw on the actual test. I felt way more confident walking in because I'd already seen the question format. Totally worth it.

I was really nervous about the ethics and professional responsibility section, but Examsdr had me covered. Their practice questions helped me nail down the tough stuff like conflicts of interest and confidentiality rules. Passed on my first try. Would definitely recommend to anyone prepping for the NALA exam.
