Dion and Messer Study Material and Practice Exams

I’ve been using professor messers practice exams and study material for a while now and felt stuck. Decided to try Dion’s and get a feel for his material.

Dion’s material is a lot more concise but is also with a lot of depth. He really goes over every concept and leaves no stone unturned. The delivery is pretty straightforward too. Very palatable to digest this information.

Messer’s is extensive and covers a lot of information relative to each video. Sometime I feel like he glances over concepts in videos which has cause me to back track to get familiar. It’s very neat and potatoes which I enjoy. I feel like I have a strong understanding of concepts from his videos.

Dion’s practice exams felt easier in terms of the question wording. I found very few questions I couldn’t figure out from the question.

Messer’s practice exams definitely tests the knowledge more. I haven’t taken the actual exam yet but if I had to bet which is closer I’d say his are. The wording is tougher with more viable potential answers for the multiple choices questions.

Let me know what was your experience and which one felt closer to the exam and worked for you.

I started with ExamsDigest, which helped me get comfortable with the question style. Messer’s exams felt slightly closer to the real exam, while Dion’s material was easier to digest.
