   Most definately the CSM will be enough...just know it well and study the practice exams. The exam was tough but after taking it I realized that the material I needed to know was all in the study guide.

   What do I mean by a "test out"? There are four courses, challenge exams, I call them test outs that you study for (either on your own or by buying the CSM material) then take an exam (you have two tries) and if you pass you essentially "test out" of ...

    I just took and passed 224. It wasn't too difficult but the study guide is a huge help. I was lucky enough to find someone locally who let me borrow theirs and it made all the difference in knowing the material that was on the test. I have two more t...
