PreLogic...is it worth it?
hello all,

I am studying for the 70-291 exam and looking into some study material. I have the MSpress book and think it pretty good as long as you do the labs that come with it.

I'm looking into getting some more study material and looking into PreLogic's video CDs. They're selling 5 CDs adding up to 15 hours of material and they go for about $425.00!

Has anyone used or heard anything about these videos, I'd like to get them but the price is a bit high!

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

He was asking about exam sims though Mitzs.

As far as I know, the Preplogic video is just the same video's used by other training providers but re-packaged. If it's Arron Spurlock dong the vids, then it will be the same set as Learnkey video's for the 291.

Uh... Boson and Transcender DO exam sims.

That said, he was asking about videos, not exam sims.

Thanks for the advise everyone. I was actually thinking of getting the videos and wanted to know if anyone's actaully seen them and whether they thought they were worth buying - either from Preplogic or Learnkey.

Thanks.

Learnkey are good and I have used a few, but they are quite pricey. (they certainly used to be, haven't checked recently).

I cant really say anything about the videos but I gave the audio series a try (it was only £25 so why not) . They were flipping awful, might have well been read out by the microsoft sam narator voice.
