The intent of the training was to help us pass the exam, and make us familiar with the material and types of questions. The instructor did a good job of getting us ready for the exam. I passed the exam!

I believe self-study would have been much much harder to comprehend the information and pass the test on a first try. My colleagues who self-studied flunked the first time they took it. I passed the first time after attending the boot camp.
