program? The CASB/UFE process is intensive
and stressful. My most memorable moment
was at the end of the final exam day of the UFE, when I could finally
relax knowing that I had done my best.
Who would you like to thank for providing support during your
studies? I would like to thank my parents, sisters, and boyfriend for
their understanding, patience, and unwavering confidence in me.
Their encouragement was a key factor to my success.
I would also like to thank everyone at KNV who has given me support,
advice, and feedback on my practice exams over the last two years. A
