hpcock please don't assume that I was saying OAT is better than BGS.
Because its not, and neither is BGS better than OAT.
My feeling is they actually suits different sides of the market.
From what I have seen Alex is a master at smoothing the way for people who need poked in the right direction when it comes to relearning how to learn. The BGS notes would infurate me with the amount of waffle around a technical point ie 100 words and a figure, when 4 words and a figure with a bit of maths and a couple of arrows would do.
Some people can't get there heads around the technical manual style of OAT notes. It suited me to be given the books then left alone to my own devices. All the notes are written in a style which I was very used to and found easy to learn.
So in summary I think BGS would suit 80% of the market and OAT would suit 80% of the market you will note that for 60% of the market it really doesn't matter which school you go to. For that 60% the choice really comes down to which one is cheaper when you take into account HOTAC and living expenses.
