Best Self-Taught Modeling Class (TTS, WSP, etc.)

Hey everyone,

Thanks in advance for any advice I really appreciate it. I tried using the search function but couldn't find clear answers for self-taught classes. I have a summer position at a small investment bank coming up and they want me to take a modeling class before I start. I would have to do a self taught one like buying the books as the in person classes are too expensive.

I've been leaning towards Training the Street. What do you guys think of them? I've also heard of Wall Street Prep and a few others. What do you guys like? Thanks
