Tile Money

I had the privilege to interview a panel of recent CTI test takers! 

This was the first CTI test of 21' and it was packed with eager tiler's.  Let's find out what the test meant to these tilers, what the experience was like, and if they didn't pass...... will they be taking it again in the future?  

If you are curious to know what the test is like from a tester's perspective, it's still fresh in their minds! It was also Luke's very first time experiencing this test and he is eager to share his thoughts on the day of the test.
