Default Preparing for Batten seminar

I will be attending the NEAS CAS Exam 3 seminar the first week in October. I've finished reading the Bowers material, and I'm wondering how much more time I should put into it before the seminar. I know that I should know chapters 3-5 backwards and forwards, but how much should I fuss with the other material before going to the seminar?

The more you know going into the seminar the more you will get from it. My experience was that if you didn't have a basic understanding before you went in, the seminar was too fast for you to learn from. But if whatever you did have the basics, you came out knowing very well.

Good Luck!
