I have all the study material that you will be quizzed on during the exam.
You can have them free (will save you a few $$).
The exam is mainly based on finance, and not your level of skill.

Looks like you may want to take one of the workshops. According to the website you must pass your exam with 70% correct and you must be bonded worth $20,000. You can get bonded just about anywhere - check with the courthouse. I think you'd need $200 upfront money for that. The exam seems to cover laws and regulations. For that you may want to take the workshop From that website:
