Argus Test - Best Option

As the title suggests, I have an Argus test coming up for one of the brokerage firms. I have not used the software since undergrad and have not used it on the job yet either. I am planning on buying one of the packages Argus has before the test so I can brush up a bit. Haven't committed to a date, but does anyone think it's possible to get a solid grasp of the software in a weekend? I know people say maneuvering around is the hardest part and I would just like to not be completely lost when I take the exam.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to which route to go? i.e should I go straight for the enterprise certification bundle (case study, test) for $1,150? Get the eLearning beginner package for $800? Or simply just purchase the case study guides for $170?

I would really appreciate any insight you guys might have.
