Was just wondering if at all there is any need to BUY the 2009 edition of secret sauce for the June2009-L1 exam? The 2008 edition should be freely available (guessing) on the net-won’t it be sufficient because I guess SS is just a condensed version of the actual material which anyway I am having (2009 edition). Can you pls throw some light? Thanks,

Nobody here would recommend getting the Secret Sauce freely off the internet.

I bought 2009 and it’s virtually identical to 2008… maybe a paragraph or 2 throughout the entire book differ.

Thanks dhwit- that’s a pretty useful info and I was just fearing something like this- you saved me $99!
