It's gotten more challenging since then (so I've heard). I took mine about
13 years ago.

The cheapest way is to get your employer to pay for your training and test,
of course. :-)

It's really geared at basic computer hardware and software proficiency. I'd
at least look at the book to learn what's going to be on the test. Then
learn however you learn best. The web has tons of free tutorials and
videos.

Many of the local libraries either have the books or will order books that
they think are useful. I checked Johnston/Urbandale just now (free card for
IA residents, even if you don't live there) and they have 9 books, many on
the shelf.
