I just cleared my ISTQB exam this month, April 2024 but with syllabus 3.0(which is probably getting retired by April/May 2024 in India) with 87.5% by only watching his videos. So I came here to tell this to anyone who's preparing for your exams , just watch and understand the contents from his videos and that is more than enough to clear the exam in first attempt itself. I'm so grateful and happy that I found his channel. Thanks a lot sir! :)
