Educational Resources
The following list is not intended to be a complete listing of every source available, nor should applicants feel they must purchase and study every item on this list. Most texts in a particular category are redundant. The list is purposely long to increase the probability that everyone will have access to at least some of the sources listed. Other generally accepted texts may be of equal value in preparation for the examinations.
