By God's grace, I passed the GA exam. Thank you very much to Dr. Ashraf El-Ghitany for his effort with us and everyone on the group who helps. Truly great effort and no one is ever late to answer any inquiry. Thank you very much, and hoping for the AP soon, God willing.

YM

Yasmen Mohamed

Engineer

LEED GA176/200

Praise be to God. I subscribed and booked on short notice, and it was very difficult with my work circumstances. Almost only 5 days of study before the exam. Of course, I don't recommend it, but the positive part is that the subject is easy for anyone who understands it and loves the content itself. I couldn't solve the mock exams or all the chapter quizzes. I thank Dr. Ashraf El-Ghitany for his effort in explaining so the information sticks in your brain, not just spoon-feeding. I also thank all the colleagues who messaged me privately to help, and the support team for their effort during the site crash. May God help you. Hopefully, LEED BD+C is next, just a small break.
