I'm on my last unit of Gleim and taking the exam on July 17th.  Consistently throughout every unit, I've made notes from the Gleim book then done the MC at the end of the unit, then used the test prep CD and I've been doing fairly well (usually averaging 75 and above).  My problem is the Gleim units seem so long at times and then I go to the test prep cd and large amounts of the stuff I've made notes on never have any questions pertaining to them or not in as much detail.

Is it that Gleim has excessive content in hopes of covering every possible question?  Cause it feels like such a waste to try to memorize all those details and then not get questions on the with the testprep cd.  I'm going to do my final review shortly and don't want to get bogged down trying to learn too much.

rumboj,

I am only using the test prep cd from Gleim, but have heard that the books provide a little overkill on the level of detail.  From my experience with REG and AUD the test prep CD's have been a good way to prepare for the material on the exam.
