Hi,
Interested in taking the course for Elite, I saw this posted online...can anyone advise, is this real or is this AI?

Lol, its real. However its not a full course like Key / elite. Its just practice questions. Extremely hard questions. For my LTs exam I used the key and I purchased the Questions from here. I passed

lol, it is very real. There was another thread here discussing who the hell would pay a thousand bucks to have a college kid teach the PG. But anyway, to your question, my philosophy was similar to the poster above, Key or Elite + Rising Star questions. I used to say Key or Elite based on your preferences but because of that video I cant get behind Elite anymore. But ultimately, its your money, so go with what you feel comfortable with for the full length course, but definitely do the RS questions as well.

Its real, what the hell is going on. No way should you have someone who wasnt a cop teaching cops about a cops book. Just my opinion but no way am I taking that course now.

Well, if you haven't noticed, our current leader was never a cop....... Think about it..... I've been taking these tests since the "Pilecki Guide"....... Not many of you guys/gals knows about this free guide that most of our elders that are assigned to 1PP used..... Mike's son has been with him side by side since the beginning.... It was destined for this to happen..... I'm sure his son can regurgitate the guide backwards and forwards.... Listen I was always the two-fer guy myself. Elite plus RS' questions. Elite for the repetitiveness and Rising Stars for their tough para(s) long questions..... that made you think...... But you should not cut your nose to spite your face..... I wouldn't let that get in the way...... Do a dry run first..... Would it make any difference if he was going to join that job at a later date.....

At first thought, i think everyone would agree that someone who hasn't been on the job shouldn't be teaching PG, but as we all know, the tests aren't on real life scenarios, its strictly off the words in the PG.

Also, I am shocked I haven't seen anything negative regarding Key this go around for Captains...the app and questions delivery is horrendous.

Thank you. Someone else said it. Im not crazy. The key app is atrocious. And I love the key. Love the way Misfud teaches. But whoever is behind that app hasnt earned their money.
