Default What's new in Actex for Pre-test Apr04?

Can anyone tell me how many pages in Actex are for the new study note 7P-43-04? I bought Actex in Nov03 which doesn't cover this study note. I'm still thinking whether to spend another $95 on a new Actex for a small new section...

about 30 or so new pages for the new study note and the internet download. also a fourth sample exam. probably not worth $95 if just for the outline of the two study notes. if you trhink the sample exam would have some utility, that's up to you.

I wouldn't spend more money for an outline on one study note. The new study note does not have that much information. You should be okay on your own.

What about the Struby/Wilson Study Manual? Is it good?

I don't know when the ACTEX changed. But the new one by Mocciolo is quite good. I basically hightlighted everything that's in the manual, and didn't hightlight what's not there. I felt that I found almost everything I needed to look up.

If you had an old ACTEX, definitely get Mocciolo's 2004 edition. If the Nov. version was already Mocciolo, then email him and ask if you can get the additions. (perhaps for a small cost)
