Personally, I bought it but I’m not finding it helpful! But again, that’s my personal opinion.

He doesnt help much dont buy it

It actually helped me a lot especially the audiobook. I used to listen to it everyday and it helped me memorize some concepts. Also the mini quizzes were great! The material is good if you use it as he suggested: Study with main course for 2h in the morning by doing questions first approach + reading his notes and finally listening to the audio anytime you can!

I thought it was nonsense, it might be cool during review time to listen to it at random times throughout the day but not useful for absorbing new material
