Over and over and over, yet another person who passes the license
test decides to offer 'test prep help' because he passed the test.

Sadly, even if he remembered every question that was on his/her test,
that doesn't cover the many other versions of the test.

Their intentions are good, but that's not enough.

Avoid the clowns.
Avoid the phonies.
