The thing is, you should test a course before dropping serious money on it - lots of them offer free classes or trial periods so you can see if the methodology clicks with how you learn. On top of that, pay attention to whether the course has an active forum or tutoring, because studying on your own is cool but when you hit a specific question about jurisprudence you want someone to clear it up for you!
The biggest advantage is being able to study at your own pace, which really helps when you're working or have other responsibilities. Most online OAB prep courses have decent video lessons, well-organized materials, and practice exams that actually work, but the results depend way more on you actually sitting down and studying hard than on the format. If you've got the money and discipline, it's worth it, but it's not a miracle solution - I know people who paid a lot for a good course and still failed the exam because they didn't put in the real effort.
It really depends on what kind of learner you are - do you need structure and close guidance, or can you be self-taught? Because some online courses are genuinely good, but others are pretty generic and charge a lot. What I see is that it's more worth it if you already have a solid foundation in law or if you manage to join study groups on the side, otherwise it's easy to get lost with so many videos.

I'm pretty self-taught, but I'm thinking about joining a study group to stay more focused. Thanks for the tip!
