Personal experience:

I wrote my Google Test today. It was certainly not a walk in the park and reflecting back I should
have spent more time preparing.

It was good to put everything I have learned the past 8 weeks into practice, I only now realise
the hard work our presenters had to keep me up to speed.

Thank you for all the support.
