Quite literally JUST got out of the test myself (I passed by a comfortable margin! Hurrah!!) The book is pretty much the ONLY thing I used to study, although there were some questions that were outside its scope (most of which any fitness trainer will know anyway). I also took the three practice exams and feel that they prepped me pretty well for the type of questions that were and weren't on it.
Overall, it's a hard but fair assessment of your grasp of that book. In-depth but not crazily, out-of-left-field in the scope of its questions.
I'd stick with the book if I were you--I wouldn't spend too much time studying stuff that probably won't be on the test! Moreover, they have their own angle--so some of the stuff will be contradicted by other texts (bear in mind that it's an 8 year old book!)
Good luck!
