I have recently signed up for the AICP Certified Transportation Planner Exam and will be taking the exam next week. Having scoured the internet and seeing a lack of practice exams and materials for the CTP Exam, I'm wondering what the best resources are for studying for the exam - I checked the APA website and came up with these sources:

1) Certified Transportation Planner Study Guide - $25 fee - membership in the Transportation Planning Division required (I signed up for it yesterday but the wonderful customer service at APA said I'll be able to access the resources in 3 days...yikes)
2) Advanced Transportation Planning Streaming Media #1, 2, 3 - $169 fee per presentation
3) APA Policy Guides - free

Out of those three resources, which resources are most effective for this test? While it appears that #2 most closely correlates to the outline of topics covered on the exam, I'm very hesitant of spending an additional $500+ on study materials when the exam itself was $500 (all of this out of my own pocket as my employer is unable to cover these costs). Any recommendations on effective resources for exam prep would be greatly appreciated!
