Superseded edition from previous year — look for a newer version on this website. This is keyed to the 2024 Study Guide's page numbers: Questions and answers in four separate tests—plus detailed explanations for each right and wrong answer, referencing the latest official state Study Guide—help coach students for the difficult exam. This independent resource takes notary prep to the next level by revealing the tricks of questions and formats, tactics for the test, and the law behind it. More generally, it serves as a master class in answering multiple choice questions and tackling tricky exams. Louisiana civil law notaries have unmatched functions, responsibilities, and opportunities—but the exam averages a 20% pass rate. Candidates need all the help they can get. The best prep classes and study groups recommend multiple practice questions to understand the format, content, and coverage of the actual exams the Secretary of State administers each year. Yet even the best workbooks and study aids are costly but barebones in the answers they provide. Their questions help, but students are left matching answers to page numbers. There’s no guidance on why they’re right—and even less about why other good options aren’t “best.” This book fills that void with 130 questions and detailed clarifications, plus tactics illustrated by specific formats and options. Explanations are keyed in detail to the 2024 Fundamentals (state study guide). Dr. Childress, author of a best-selling supplemental book decoding the state study guide and co-teacher of Tulane’s undergraduate course in notary law, explains every twist he can think of that the examiners may try. Whether as a recommended supplement to a prep class, as spelled-out lagniappe to other available workbooks, or as a new tool for self-study, this workbook should become standard fare for anyone contemplating becoming a commissioned notary. An affordable addition to the Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books, from the leading educational resource on Louisiana notary prep.
