Bonzs12BTaking my ISA Certified Arborist Exam today. This was a helpful tool to find the weak points in my knowledge and dial in my studying. With the addition of ArbAI you can have a detailed explanation of the question to understand why a certain answer is better than the others and provide some more information to help you understand the concept. Highly recommend.
