CBT training that is quick & to the point?

Before I plop down money on other training videos etc. I always like to get an opinion from other people on what I am looking for.

What CBT based training whether it be interactive testing or just straight videos gets straight to what you need to know for the test?

I am right now doing A+ which is a lot of review stuff for me but I want to make sure I know all the small stuff for the test and then move on into higher level certs.

I was watching a video earlier today that a friend gave me and I felt it had quite a bit of fluff in it or it says "you dont need to know this but...." One part made me lose my train of thought when he started talking about wal-mart. This isnt a negative review on that company. I like all the other stuff when they are on topic.

It really comes down to trainer preference and the actual certification you're going towards.

For example, I find Jeremy Cioara of CBT Nuggets to be the only option for me when it comes to learning things Cisco. I like his style, voice, and his real world feel of the material. He does have random fillers/anecdotes here and there but I've come to love them. While he always get to the point in an orderly fashion other people may think the complete opposite of this.

I'd say view some sample videos from the Trainsignal and CBT Nuggets sites (two huge CBT companies in this field) and see what you like. The reason I say trainer preference comes into play is because the trainer you see in the current series you're watching may not be teaching the next series of the exam you need info on.
