Can't speak for ECP1 course but I have not found most of these prestudy lab
courses all that useful. There is a lot of stuff crammed into one week and
I have found it more useful to spend more time trying on my own lab setup.
This way I can go into more detail and try to understand what is happening.
Might be useful if you are ready for the test and just want to practice
and see how well you do.
