I took that test last month and received a 458. The flash cards are great-- but I would suggest taking the practice tests in Petersons.com as well. Good luck!

If you all are members, you can access all of this simply by signing on, then again signing on to the forum again, click on Exam Specific Forums (on the first page after you sign in the second time, the 4th item on the list), and then do a forum search for the test you are interested in.

All will be made available to you, from those who have gone before!

I'm sharing this because it took me some time to find out where this was "hidden".

Good luck!
