Do I need a tutor to prepare for ARDMS exams?
Wanting a tutor usually means studying alone feels hard, so you're looking for outside help to get through it.
Short Answer
Wanting a tutor usually means studying alone feels hard, so you're looking for outside help to get through it. But the core fact doesn't change either way: it's still you who has to actually do the studying. A tutor can add real value — setting direction and making your prep somewhat more efficient — but even a great tutor can't pass the exam for you if you don't do the independent work.
