Hi, Olga! Great job! Thank you a lot!

What book do you use to explain all these questions? Could you you share it?

If only they provided a legend or chart of the codes to work through during the exam. That would be a huge help. Nevertheless, we press on with our attention and retention to the details as best we can. Thank you again. Great job! 😇
