Never took Elite or Risingstar. I'm a KEY guy. I'll stand by them. It worked for all three of my exams back to back.
No bashing. Elite appears to have a very solid mimic of the PG, RisingStar covers obscurity, and the KEY consolidates and condenses and their packets are PRIME.
At the end of it all, it's based on the studier. All 3 schools provide the same information with their own spin. You have to study. Period.
For me, the KEY was effective. Their questions at the end of each packet were solid. The quizzes were solid. And although I did not take any of their CRAM REWRITES for Captain (simply because I was behind on my own review of material), I heard through other hardcore studiers that the CRAM REWRITES were challenging. That's what you want. You don't want 100 fastballs down the middle. Your learning curve would be nonexistent.
Again, each school has their own style. KEY did it for me. Off of Packets. Scored a 76, and more so because I WAS PERSONALLY BEHIND and RUSH READING to cover material a second time.

I agree. The Key is on point. the Instructor was ALWAYS on point and knows how to present the materials flawlessly. the Key's quizzes continually emphasized major points. The Key's CRAM are simply the BEST! For all of you reading this , please sign up for The Key and Rising Star for the obscure questions.......trust me you won't be disappointed.
The key and elite both gave a trash captains course, both had mistakes in their lectures and questions, both gave minimal capt questions. The capt rewrites the key gave were decent but made you feel dumb. Yano didnt even have a capt rewrite.... Honestly if rising star gave a course like they did for the 2017 lt exam for every exam they would corner the market. They def have the best questions because they don't focus on just the most tested procedures, they focus on everything and make you think and read a different way.
IMO rising star questions... and study on your own as your main....secondary key or elite.. they are both the same shit.
Sorry but Elite is the basics and if you study from his PG as he says youre solid. Everything else is just a supplement. Mike may be a little out if the loop but they all are at thus point seeing you have to be retired in order to teach. I did the hard work but his course made the impossible possible with my hard work. From the bottom of my heart and my family thanks Mike. Im not trashing anyone else but I can only speak to what holds true for me. With that being said you cant study on your own for any exam you need one of these courses. Whatever works for you..

Mike All 3 exams! He provides what you need. The legwork is on us.
This. The classes give you a nice schedule to follow. The rest is up to what we do at home.
Agree with you but trust me, The Key was on point with the Captains courses. They honed in specifically on Captains duties. Look at their packets.........Mike doesn't give you that. He gives you "EVERYTHING!" Does that make sense ? We all know that we have to put in the work at home and study everything a few things over.....school prepares you on the difficult procedures and mostly tested......PERIOD! No need for crossword puzzles or 2-7 hour videos (overstimulating your brain with those learning modules LMAOOOO) The Key gives you breaks after 40-45 minute instructions. Their philosophy and approach is very simple......put in the work! They told us this repeatedly in class. It's up to you to pull through. They even provided you with rewrites (Captain exams) which really helped you guys prepare for the level of difficulty you saw on this exam,.......and guess what? Many passed because of this. Don't believe me ? Ask ALL of the Elite students that flocked over to They Key's CRAM at the FINAL hour! They will not lie and will tell you,...and the best part was them collaborating with The Rising Star to give their students the edge. Give credit to where credit is due folks ,.....Enough with the BS! The Key,.....best in the business.

They key had packets that weren't proofread. key classes also spent time on cops duties too. They discussed the NST cop n sgt. Every company has its own pluses and minuses.

Elite had tons of grammar errors too. I think both classes didnt have as much time to prepare the course as they wouldve liked so they were a bit rushed. Hell, all of us had about 4-5 months to prepare as is.

You hit it right on the nose. I used the Key for all 3 tests and I highly recommend them for future exam takers. The digital quizzes and prior re-writes helped so much. If I had more time, I would have 100% bought the RS question package to answer along the way. I was just trying to keep up with the material and trying to finish all the questions, so it was too much to take on for this one. I did that for the 2017 Lt test and it definitely paid off. The video/audio has to be supplementary studying. Reading, writing and actual studying of material is primary, well for me at least. Well done to all of us who passed a challenging test!
I never hear Yanosik talking about the key, but I always here the key talking about Yanosik, posting screenshots of text messages etc slandering elite , why is this ?

Cuz Yanosik must be crushing The Key financially. The Key sees this deadend generation of jerkoff cops Looking to blame their failures on Yanosik and The Key smells blood.

Disagree..feedback has been crazy,..A lot of Elite students are HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED in their results. Most of them sitting on a 69,.ask around. Also, think about it, The Key partnered up with Rising Star to assure your success on exam day,..they gave you rewrites written similarly (difficulty level) to your exam,Most Elite students admitted that his questions were trash,..long paragraphs to ask a silly Desk Officer question,.NOT enough Captain questions!!!!! Thats CRAZY! unlike Key and Rising Star,.Im sorry, a lot of them said that they were UNDER PREPARED,.better luck next time!!!!!!! Dont worry, there WILL BE another exam in 2 years!

Ridiculous. And I highly doubt they're all at 69. How much time you got on pal? Everyone who fails "didn't really study hard" or "had a 69"
Are you the novel writer that always promotes The Key and Mifsud on social media?

???? You're on some next level shit,.......Easy guy with the allegations. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and so am I.
Did you look at the poll results? Mike alone made more people pass than any other option. Facts.
People who passed are not the ones complaining. If rumors are true that 15% passed, that means majority did not pass. There are some people who love to complain, some people who do not accept responsibilities and some people who like to point the fingers. Those people are blaming Yano.
I took Mike Yano all 3 exams, and thankfully passed them all on first shot. Ive used other classes to supplement Yano's curriculum. But Mike Yano is the truth and I support him fully.
As we already know it, the preparation for Captain has the most information that you have to read. (Patrol Guide, Admin Guide, LLB, Interim Orders, etc.)
I used Mike Yano and tried to get a finger on the pulse as to what The Key and Rising Star thought was most important.
From there I followed Mike Yano's course and dipped into other schools materials.
