To do well on the exam, how much additional effort is required other than reading the modules and doing all of the practice quizzes? Once you have read through all of the material, what should you do to further prepare yourself for the exam? I really don't know what to expect.
Thanks!

If by read all the material you mean modules and/or text, I would review using the review notes provided at the bottom of each module. Those contain the meat of the actual text, and I would guess around 90% of the exam questions come from it.

I would print off those notes and compare them with the material you're working from (online modules or text). I've already found two errors (one important missing item from a list and one incorrectly stated item).

I found that ordering the textbook was beneficial.
I used that to make my notes, then went through the modules slides and just added anything to my notes that I missed.
Then I did the quizzes, re-read the textbook and my review notes after that.
The notes at the end of each module I found to be useless. Didn't use those at all.

i made one pass through the online course, including the quizzes at the end of each section. then to review, i went through all the .pdf review notes. sat for the exam, pretty confident i passed.
i think all the supplemental material is a waste of money.

That is pretty much the exact same strategy that I am using. We'll see how it works out :)

Whoa . . . you read the material three times (text, online, text)! Did you not think that was a little excessive? I have enough trouble keeping awake long enough to read the material once :)
