Jeremiah grew up in a family where college is of utmost importance. His parents and siblings have all graduated from prestigious colleges. When Jeremiah does not get accepted to the college of his choice, he decides to change his plans for the future.

Well, the content is okay. It helped me with the exam but it is better you study outside these brain dumps if you want to learn the topics. Using this braindumps will only help you pass. It does not teach you much.
