I used this guide and I don't want to give it all the credit, but I passed this test the first time I took it.

This was a helpful guide as I studied to take my CCDS exam. However, I was very surprised at the number of misspelled words and obvious lack of proof-reading or editing prior to publication. For the money it is not a great example of a "polished, professional" product.
