It seems like the only available options are Actex and JAM. Thanks

I hear Actex has more explaination while JAM is more like a condensed summary. Can someone advise whether thats true?

To be honest, I haven't used Actex -- just a big fan of Carmody.
His study manual is a lot like a condensed summary. Isn't the condensed outline the same, but more dense?

Given that it is a new author and new manual, nobody would be able to compare the two. For last year's FET, there was an Actex manual, but it was written by a different author than this year's FETE Actex manual.

That's because JAM is so far superior to Actex for this exam that it would be foolish to do so.

Anyone has an idea of the online seminar for FETE? Is it good?

this will be the first time this one is given, they didn't have one last year for FET. Although, the author is the same as the APM exam and I hear he is pretty good.

After the way Actex dragged their feet with AFE 2007 and put out a sub-par product for that exam I would never use them again. JAM on the other hand was great last year.
