David Balchin,
I do not wish to start a LGU/BGS/ (or any other school for that matter) bunfight, but to infer that the BGS notes are somehow inferior (the angry face symbol) I feel is harsh.
I can not comment on LGU's material but as reputation has it, a fine organisation. I can however compare BGS notes to other schools', and even by taking a completey stand-alone view of the BGS material, it is my personal view that the material is written in a "friendly" style, making some very dry material quite easily learnable.
Worked for me, first time passes in all 14.
As I said above, please do not (anyone) turn this into a nit-picking "my school is better than yours" argument, all establishments of good reputation will provide the relevant material in a decent format to get you through, however I do sometimes read posts on here about which school will be best to get you through the exams, almost as if that is a magic formula.
The thing that gets any of us through is, yes good material, but more importantly, sheer hard work on the students part regardless of school.
all the best,
Gb.
