Spring Seminar

[kirghizstan]

I live in the Northeast and want to take an Exam P seminar before the spring exam. It seems the only one in the Northeast is done in NYC by BPP. Does anyone know if this is any good? I guess I could go out to IL, but I would prefer not to if the BPP is just as good. Thanks

I did just discover that CAMAR holds seminars for exam p as well at Phily. The instructor is Boris Iglewicz. I still would rather go to NYC because it is closer, but your opinions are the most important.

i used the BPP study guide for P, and thought it was good. If you can check out the names of the authors of that, and see if any coincide with lecturers of seminars, then it would probably be a good fit. the only thing i would think is that they might go through their study guide at the seminar...so if you are not using it, you won't be able to easily follow along (although it shouldn't be too difficult).

Yeah I'm using Ramanathan's and Broverman's. Makes it tough seeming how neither of them hold a seminar.

We will hold seminars for P, FM and M at Illinois State University:

Practice exam at the end. Can combine the trip with a visit to Ronald Reagan Museum at Eureka College (his Alma Mater) or visit Adlai Stevenson's places in Bloomington, while here. Great capuccino at the Coffee Hound downtown Bloomington. Lots of corn fields around. Nice place to visit.

Yours,

Yes but that means I need to buy another study manual and a plane ticket. NYC or Phily I can at least drive to. Not saying I am unwilling to go to yours Krysio, but if the others are done well I would jsut assume go to one of them. Thanks for the capuccino tip though.

Does anyone have an opinion of the BPP seminar?
