eJPT Prep

I just purchased the ELITE PTS course so I can take a stab at the eJPT but wanted to get someone's experience of the course and exam from someone who took the course and passed the exam but did not have a pen testing background. Many people I read reviews or saw video reviews from always mention that they have a background in pen testing and then took the exam. Please can someone share there experiences who didn't have a red side background before taking this course and exam?
