“If someone is considering the bootcamp, I would tell them to absolutely do it. It's the best guide through the AREs I could've asked for. I love the accountability, and all the content is excellent. The teachers and advisors are really good at what they do and genuinely care about helping you pass.”

“I had just completed my hours and didn't know where to start studying. The bootcamp gave me every tool I could wish for and more. I don't know what I would have done to study or how I would have fit studying into my schedule. As any bootcamp should be, this one gave me all the tools I'd need for success and ensured I was prepared for the process.”

“I learned so many studying skills from Mike and Lorenzo. Their encouragement kept me pushing forward with each exam. I would not have made it through this journey without Bootcamp.”

“Without the bootcamp I would not have been able to navigate on my own how to proceed. I was completely lost on which study materials to prioritize, and also Mike told us to start by outlining each of the test objectives. That was essential! Also I learned a lot about what I still did not know from the meetups. Finally, the practice questions with answers are great - they really help with understanding the concepts!!”

“If you're like me and have many things going on in your life and find it hard to find time to concentrate, or if English is not your primary language, or if you have a hard time understanding the legal language, or if you're studying by yourself alone, I would highly recommend joining YAA. It's a great community where you can learn a lot and elevate your knowledge to a deeper understanding.”

“Meetups! Preparing meetups has been the biggest game changer. The sharefile is an invaluable resource that everyone should take advantage of. Also, the weekly check-in meetings with Michael helped a lot to keep us on track and motivate us.”

“The biggest game-changer has been the Technical Bootcamp and the structured way complex topics are broken down and reinforced. I'm currently in my 11th week, have completed the bootcamp, and I'm heading into my technical exams with a level of confidence I never had when studying alone.”

“The bootcamp is amazing, It pushes you to keep studying. The amount of behind-the-scenes work that goes into their podcasts, practice questions, and weekly check-ins is impressive. I can't recommend it enough. Before joining, I felt completely isolated and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of NCARB objectives. This program didn't just give me study materials; it gave me a roadmap and a group of peers who actually understood the struggle.”
