I did a boot camp sponsored by the firm and then read the Shon Harris book cover to cover and did every practice question including figuring out why each wrong answer was wrong. Made the exam super easy

Thank you!

Everybody's learning style is different. What works for me, won't work for you. For me, practice tests + on-demand lectures + articles + labs. Neither works on its own without the other for me. For someone else, could be a 7 day intensive live bootcamp with testing immediately after. For others, could be self-study. You need to explore what works for you and go with that option. The key here is to actually learn the material, don't just get to a point where you can regurgitate it. The cert is to prove you know your shit, not that you can study well.

What on demand lectures and practice tests did you use?

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?
