3. Take the time to put together a comprehensive Test-Prep Resource Library^©
   • the Test-Prep Resource Library^© is my #1 recommendation for everyone preparing for the PE Exam.

NOTE: although you are no longer allowed to bring outside information into the testing center, we still highly recommend putting together a Test-Prep Resource Library. It will help you organize your materials, aid in your review, be invaluable in the event you have to retake the exam, and will be an excellent resource in your business.

Remember, this is a process. If you will:

• spend time every day gathering information
