Taking the FCE and CAE exams

I was wondering if anyone here who’s actually tackled either of these two exams (or maybe both) could point me in the right direction regarding study materials? I'm feeling a little lost on what to prioritize... also, did you guys end up enrolling in a formal prep course, or did you just tackle the whole thing on your own? Honestly, any bit of guidance or advice you could share would be such a huge help to me right now.

I took both Langlia classes in San Diego, and I ended up getting an A on both (like a 5). They really walk you through everything—providing all the literature, helping you prep, and basically organizing the whole process for you. If you don't feel particularly close with the FBI, just try giving them a call (you can find their info in the directory) to see if they'll send over some study materials. They have native speakers available, too—professors, small group sessions, the whole five-star experience...
