I agree with Charlie Willis' recommendation for the Baltimore-Washington Chapter,
HPS, certification review course. It was very helpful to have lectures once a week for
a quarter year (I forget now exactly how many times the class met), with each week
a different topic. In addition, for Part II of the exam, I found it very helpful to work
through many of the previous years' Part II exams. A friend and I spent many hours
working these problems, and it really helped identify areas where we needed to study
more, and helped to get into the proper mode for test taking.
