7. Content Accuracy and Disclaimer

C3RT makes reasonable efforts to ensure that all practice questions, answers, explanations, and study materials are accurate and reflect current exam outlines. However:

• Exam content, formats, passing scores, fees, and requirements are set by the relevant governing bodies and may change without notice
• C3RT does not guarantee that app content is complete, current, or error-free
• Practice questions are for study purposes only. They may not be identical to, nor representative of, actual exam questions

Always verify current exam requirements directly with the relevant credentialing authority before registering for an examination.
