The Exam Guide was an excellent resource. I used this guide, the corresponding app and my DSM notes to study. I did not need any other resources. I studied for about 3 months, taking a 10-question quiz on the app 4 or 5 days a week. I thought I was ready to go, then COVID shut down the testing sites. So I had a few months extra to study.
I took 3 practice tests: the one in the back of the exam guide, the one sold with the exam guide, and the one offered by ASWB. As much I I love the exam guide, I have to say the questions in the practice test book are terrible. They were wordy and unclear, making it impossible to determine whether you knew the material. I scored around 80% on the ASWB practice test, then scored around 65% on the Apgar practice test 2 days later. And a couple days after that, I scored around 80% on the real test. My point is, the Apgar practice test ( the one in the separate book) is NOT a good indicator of how you will do on the real exam. Spend your money on the exam guide, but don't bother with the extra practice test.
