Do these investment banking coaching services actually work?

Yeah I am probably going to get a bunch of misleading answers and fake spam from marketeers of these services on this post, but if any of you true WSO friends are out there, could you give me an objective answer about whether it is worth it to invest $300-$500 in these coaching services? Have you taken them before? What did you think?

By the way I am only talking about the ones offered by WSO or M&I, not some random sketchy shit.Are there any threads on this topic that you can refer me to for further details? Thanks!
