What is Qpractice training?
Sitting down to prepare for these exams is a lot like training for a marathon; you have to put in the work over the course of months. Qpractice offers a 12-week course with daily lessons to guide studying and effectively prepare for the exams. It breaks study time into manageable chunks so that test takers understand the "why" behind the questions, not just the answers themselves.
The biggest perk of Qpractice is the community. In a time of a pandemic when we're all isolated, Qpractice showed a group of dedicated designers all working towards the same goal- to advance their careers and advocate for their profession. It was inspiring to see everyone work together, ask questions, give support, and be there when things were stressful.
