Andrea,
I did not take any formal courses to prepare for the exam. I went to as
many conference CERP sessions as I could and read Lactnet regularly. In
addition, I had a study partner and we met weekly for the 8-9 months prior
to the exam to talk and review. What we did was to take a topic, breast
A&P, for example, and I would read about it in Lawrence, she would read in
Riordan and Auerbach and we would compare notes. We did this for all
chapters in those 2 books.
We also purchased a sample test and prepared study guide. They were
helpful, but not essential. We borrowed a set of slides from a local LC and
reviewed those. We also volunteered to speak at a couple of LLL conferences
in the hopes that preparing to speak would help reinforce the material we
were learning (it did).
That's about it!
Good luck,
Kathy
