Default Which study manual is best for learning the Material

Could everyone who took exam 4 over the past 2 sittings please tell me which study manual they liked best.

I'd like to learn the material from the study manual(s) instead of textbooks if possible.

Here's where all the best study manuals can be found

Seriously, I'm not usually one to go all Westley and bitchslap people for not searching enough about a topic. But I'm looking at the very first page of the course 4 forum and I count no less than 11 topics devoted to the various merits of different study manuals.

Including one, cleverly named "study manuels", which is only 5 posts down and contains links to even more discussion of study manuals.

Oh well. [/rant]

Thanks, I was too lazy to search so by posting this, you, Mr. B got all excited and posted an answer for me.

Good work. Thanks again.

You'll find that once people take course 4 a couple of times, they get kind of odd. Kind of like a mental patient off their medicine.

I'm also willing to bet that you'll be finding this out for yourself in the near future.

I'm not even asking you to search. Just to read. But I guess that's too much effort also.

You most definitely didn't ask me to search/read you searched/read for me.

I also have no intention of sitting for this exam twice but....we'll have to see about that I guess.

Some of us were odd before we started and the exam process is straightening us out.

Lots of topics on this site have been repeated over and over again. But from what I have seen, it is different people asking the question everytime the same topic is repeated, who weren't there when the topic was discussed before.
