[OKDXA] License Question

[NE5SD - Steve Duskin]

Jerry,

You might suggest he also look into Gordon's books.  In the books he gives
the questions and the answers.  In most cases he goes into detail about why
the correct answer was correct and why the wrong answers were incorrect.
Bottom line, is the books can help him learn in addition to studying for
the tests.
