Hi Marko - does this mean that the IPExpert BLS is not enough to pass? I have completed vol1 and 2 now and am starting on vol3 next week? I am really gaining a good understanding of everything presented but I am worried now that it won't be good enough anymore. What more would I need to do apart from all 3 workbooks and lots of study and reading?
