If they give you memory items and limitations, study those until you can rattle them off in your sleep. That's enough, and you'll be lightyears ahead when class time rolls around.

I'm studying for upgrade right now, and I'm just using company manuals. A lot of study guides might be based on different airlines. For example, if you've got a company that uses flaps 8 CRJs, they might have different Vspeeds than other companies that use flaps 8. There's probably a ton of other examples like that. If you stick to the company books, there's less chance of getting confused.

In addition, if you answer something in your oral and show it to a disbelieving examiner in the company book, you're on solid ground. If you show him a study guide....well, that's not gonna be considered an official source of info.
