The plain-English version first
We're an independent company that writes study materials and hosts a study community. We don't award credentials, we don't run exams, and we're not connected to the organizations that do. Our practice questions are written by us, from scratch. We work hard to keep every fact current and cited, but issuers change things, and your decisions should always be confirmed against the issuer's own official sources. And no one — including us — can promise you'll pass an exam.
Now the fuller version.
