ColdFusion 9 Certified Developer Study Guide

I'm finding a lot of software downloads (at a cost of course) for ColdFusion Certification.  Can anyone help me with the best route to go for preparing for ColdFusion 9 certification and how they prepared for it.  Any tips on preparing for the test and the actual test.  I did find a book entitled, "ColdFusion MX 7 Certified Developers Study Guide" but nothing on CF8 or CF9.  Do you think this book would be beneficial in preparing for the CF9 certification?  Any thought or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Has anyone out there received their certification yet and if so how much time did you have to devote to prepare for the exam. Thank you.

    That's spot on. Don't concern yourself with the CF8 guide as there's nothing in there that isn't in the CF9 one. Read through the "ColdFusion Functions" and "ColdFusion Tags" sections, as well as the "Application.cfc Reference". That should give you a fair grounding for the exam.

    Personally all I did (as advised by an Adobe trainer) was to read through the Livedocs Function and Tag listings, making sure I understood what every one did and what attributes it has. I then read the Application.cfc reference, and that was it. Exam passed

    The Adobe exams are pretty good as just being about the knowledge, a decent understanding plus a full listing of functions of tags will get you through.
