I took the kaplan course.  I passed both exams first try.  The courses may help eliminate some uncertainty.  I remember a Dr. Tim something from South Carolina that was pretty good.  I saw a bouyancy problem from that course that I never would've suspected on the exam.  Guess what - the course had examples that were more closely related to the actual test than any book.

I did not take any courses, passed vertical first try, failed lateral first try.  I am now taking school of PE for lateral in April for my second go, so far has been pretty good.

I spent about $600 for each exam on reference materials, but didn't take any study courses.  I passed vertical in April 2016 and lateral in October.  If you dedicate the time to work through reference materials, the exams can be passed without a study course.  I thought this approach was more beneficial as you learn the material for practice, not just study for/practice what you think will be an "exam type" problem.

EET for lateral - passed. Would definitely recommend 

Second for this. Took Lateral bridge with EET and passed first attempt. I'm definitely signing up with them again in the fall to do the Vertical.
