Whether you're thinking about going for your CPCU or are already in progress, you may feel that the amount of material to remember for each exam seems frightening. But fear not! There are many tools available and methods you can use to succeed at each exam. Probalby the most important tips to remember are to dedicate times to your studies, find a place where you can concentrate (coffee shop, your car, on your lunch break, wherever works for you!), and find a study style that fits YOU best (solo, study groups, online classes, etc.). It's not easy, but it is within your reach if you focus and want it.
But sometimes you need more than just a coffee shop to get you to the finish line. The following is just a short list of some resources available to you, though certainly not all. Feel free to add more resources in the comments section below.

Good Luck!
