Hello Anjela,

I am currently going through the course from Deque. The concepts explained
are same as those published on IAAP website. Definitely the course is worth
going through. I am confident that it will be very useful for the exam
itself though I could not guaranty you unless I take the exam on 22nd. :)

Hope this helps
Thanks & Regards
