"I don't know that I would have passed my boards without CONCEPT"

Having the downloadable source material to study from was a huge advantage for my board certification tests, since I could review the content as many times as I needed. I don't know that I would have passed my boards without CONCEPT, since much of what I reviewed in those presentations were covered in my exam.
