It's meant to be for last minute revision and I feel it does a great job of bringing everything together. I used the secret sauce last year which was barely over 200 pages. The 11th Hour has like 300+ so its way more detailed and it covers a lot more stuff.

I haven't used Stalla's practice questions but I felt that the QBank had way too many quantitative problems. It basically asks the same type of question multiple times. You barely needed the calculator on the actual exam. If you know your concepts you should be fine.
