Winkie - I took the exam last May.  There are 3 parts (4 in the upcoming exam in November)...it covers Business Law, Accounting, Office Procedures and Management.  Some economics are also included.  The fourth part is kind of like a management test, most of the questions I've seen can be answered with good common sense.  



I didn't order any materials....I took classes at a local Jr. college....however, I only took the last part of them because I got in too late.  The instructor encouraged me to take those classes anyway, since you are allowed to retake any part you don't pass the first time.  Thankfully, I passed completely the first time!



It was a hard test; you are allowed to have a calculator for the math questions, and I found they asked the same questions a couple of times in different ways.  Again,  a LOT of it is just good common sense.



Don't know about the materials IAAP offers; I would think they are pretty good.  The only thing I did order from them was a CPS review something or other and it had a few questions in it of the type they ask on the test, but i didn't order study guides.



Hope this helps.
