The platform is great! I did it most nights for two weeks and I'm pretty sure that's why I passed. I actually knew what was coming instead of guessing. So glad I found this.
Support was great. There was one task I kept failing and I didn't understand what I was doing wrong. I wrote to them and they explained it properly. Wasn't a long wait either.
I only found it about ten days before my tests, and it was still worth it.
I'm in Cork so I didn't know anyone who'd already done the NATS tests. This was basically my only look at it beforehand. You can see if you're getting better, which helped. I wasn't completely lost on the day.

Follow the Aon instructions on the day if they differ.
