I’ve tried many of the most popular books and videos and this prep course, for me, is the simplest and quickest path to learn the objectives. [Sari] covers all the objectives. I especially love the organized way she teaches and her diagrams are put together to make things easier to comprehend. This course mirrors the objectives. In my opinion it’s the best prep course I’ve come across yet.
