Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
STEX drills keep your order on screen beside the grader lens, with Run again and a safe save to the matching form draft. Prep progress no longer slips backwards. Long form entries print in full. Practice exam review shows your answer and the correct one. Forms get a keyboard bar with Next and Done. Wider screens get a readable column. Corrected the doctrine reading list and the orders field card, and tightened confidence labels.
