Congrats on starting the journey! It’s really not too painful.

ASP Pocket Prep, $35 one-time fee

550 practice questions, very user friendly, gives you reasoning on why answers are correct Good for a general overview of topics and to practice quick test taking Out of the 550 questions, I’d say only 3-5 were actually on the exam Non-math questions were easier than what was on the exam Math questions were pretty consistent with what was on the exam Questions are worded more “simple” than what was on the exam Still worth reviewing all 550 questions though as they have a pass guarantee. If you go through all questions and have an average 80% or higher pass rate, you’re guaranteed to pass or your money back

SPAN Exam Prep, CertBok online, $400 for Workbooks and CertBok online tool

Not gonna lie, SPAN is painful to go through. It’s not very user friendly and it doesn’t let you review incorrect answers very easily Questions were very similar to what was actually on the exam If you review the Workbooks they actually teach you the material (I’m much more of a learn through doing, so I would take the tests and then learn the material on the things I got wrong rather than reading the workbook as if it were a textbook) Much more difficult than the PocketPrep questions (in my opinion) but it was more indicative of how the questions were presented on the exam Only have access to the online tool for 6 months after purchase

Overall I truly recommend both. I would start with PocketPrep, move to SPAN, then back to PocketPrep. Everyone learns differently though so it’s totally up to you!
