in SSCP
Took a couple of months to study. A month of which was spent getting past the first chapter of the new CBK! I gave up on reading that and finished the Stewart, Chapple and Gibson guide. After that I watched the Larry Greenblatt beta bootcamp on Youtube.
I then purchased the Transcender and CCCure practice tests. The CCCure tests were a little closer to the real exam, but only just. I took a load of these on Pro level in study and test mode. Explanations were good.
The test was different enough to be scary. I really thought I was going to fail horribly. The one thing that I believe saved me was the managerial aspect. Once I had two answers to choose from, I chose the vaguer, more managerial option. I believe I know my stuff, but I did feel lost a lot of the time.
I am a quick reader, and this helped me finish the whole thing in two hours. I only reviewed four questions, as i did not want to second guess myself.
If you are thinking about doing it, just bite the bullet and schedule a date. it will help you focus. Carpe Diem

Not sure if the "vaguer" answer is necessarily the correct answer but you definitely have to approach the exam like you are running the department.
Congrats! -

Not sure how well Larry Greenblatt's videos help as I am not certified yet, but I recently attended a class taught here in Hawaii through UKI and he is a great teacher. He breaks each subject down very well and makes the content understandable and fun to learn. Give his videos a shot and let me know how your test goes.
