Thanks David! This is truly awesome. I wish I had looked at some of this before my exam.

Congrats William! One question: what are the Kaplan Target 800 videos and the Target 800 practice questions? Is that part of the Kaplan 800 book? I am struggling with pacing in quant and I am looking for the best practice material.
Thanks!
