Blog update and statistics

For someone who failed Statistics three times at university, I am curiously proud of the fact that this site has had over 2500 page views  from over 50 countries since it started. I hope that this site is useful for students and teachers preparing for the ICFE Exam.
In February IH Costa Rica is holding Cambridge suite mock exams and hopefully there will be some students interested in doing the Financial English exam.
Check out Facebook IHSJ Instituto Britanico Costa Rica for information.
