Which is better?

I have a question, I'm trying to determine which way to go to study for network+; mike meyer's totalsem superbundle(videos,tester,sims) for $349 or professor messer videos($199), ebook/live labs for $109. Has anyone had experience with either or both of these products and are they worth it?

Personally i have only used the messer vids which are fantastic, all his resources including his study notes are a must have/use, but all his vids are free on youtube supplied by himself. SO paying 200 for them wouldn't be worth it imo unless u really want them on a flash drive to watch where and when u want. I would def buy his notes tho. the 349 meyer vids sounds expensive to me which i did have for the net+ and must say they are very good vids ( i havn't tried the tester/sims off him tho), i think theres cheaper to be got , certblaster maybe?

Professor Messer's videos are for free. I bought Mike's videos on Udemy for about $20. They're good but not worth over $300, that's way too expensive.

Get Mike's book @ about 35$ if you want to get the Total Tester for test practice and the book as study material. Watch Messer's videos online for free and buy his 10$ notes. Also get a copy of Net+ objectives and go through each objective and make sure you know them.

You can study all that for cheaper IMO.

EDIT: If you want to do some simulators as well, get the Hands on Lab Sim @ 35$

Mike Meyers videos are also on Lynda.com. You can get 10 days for free if you've never used it before and $20 a month after that if you want to keep using it. The simulator I used was the Pearson Hands on Lab Simulator (here)

Personally Messer is the way to go. I'm not knocking other study material by any means but Messer's videos and study programs are the Gold standard in my opinion.
