You are doing exactly what I did to study for the exam.  I also looked at individual federal agency guidelines, such as NSF and NIH.  If you have a good working knowledge of these and the circulars you should pass with flying colors!

Subject: [RESADM-L] CRA Certification

A colleague of mine and I are venturing into the CRA world.  No one in our area has it and there is not a review session anywhere close.  We are looking for suggestions on how to approach the exam, which we plan on taking in May (started studing in Jan).
 
We currently are meeting once a week for 2 hours to go over the "Managing Federal Grants"  that NCURA publishes, as well as going over the circulars in detail.
 
Any thoughts or comments would be very much appreciated!
