The gap isn’t access.

If the actual TCAP test is anything like the practice test, may be time for an audit of the questions and answers. Case in point-these are 2 questions from the practice test. Not only are they identical, but I selected the same answer for both and somehow got one wrong. WTF? – at Nashville, TN
