Level III Condensed Reviews NYC and Newark

Does anyone think doing a condensed 3 day weekend course is worth the time and money? I did one through NYSSA for Level I and it was of little use. I am feeling stressed at this point and am thinking that doing a corse may help. Has anyone heard of the following two teachers and know if they are good? NYSSA C. Mitchell Conover, PhD, CFA May 9-11 NYC Schweser Dr. Erik Benrud, CFA, FRM May 9-11 Newark One other note, the NYSSA course is $775 vs $429 for Newark Any opinions and insight would be appreciated.

Same course. Just do you want to get robbed/jumped in Newark or pay to get there for 3 days vs living in NYC and being ripped off.

Aside from the $ aspect of it, has anyone heard of either of the two instructors and would you recommend/ not recommend either of them?

Conover taught International Finance for my undergrad. Very methodical in his teaching methods which I think should lend itself pretty well to the material in level 3.
