Literature Seminars?

Our teacher recommended we go to a 'vate' seminar for around $60, not sure if a seminar would be so relevant for literature though. I mean everyone is meant to develop their own interpretations etc.
So basically wondering if anyone has ever gone to a seminar for lit and if they'd recommend it. It is probably the one exam i'm most worried for.

I have never been to one but someone is my class went a few years ago. He said it was good, however i think they spend a lot of time discussing how to write for the exam i.e. what you are expected to do during the exam as far as completing the requirements of the task. Perhaps email or call them to find out exactly what they will be doing before you sign up.

VATE is really good - I highly recommend.
You may think your interpretation is individual but you are being taught by one teacher.
Getting someone else's interpretation as well can help you create an amalgamation of interpretations.

VATE has three hours of seminar - one on how to write in the exam, and two for specific texts you plan to do which go through possible concerns or techniques you could pull out.
I found it very helpful and well worth my money.

Don't go to TSFX. They state the obvious and it was an utter waste of money :P
Not sure on any other companies though.
