i subscribed to UW and paid 299dollars.
DONOT DO THAT
they will ask you few questions.
you have to write answer to all those questions.

you can find those questions on internet.
ultimately you have to answer them
now just put infront of you for 2 to 3 day.
Revise it again and again .
the BEST PS WILL BE READY.

i really threw away my 299
