The manual covers most of what is on the test, but NO certification is going to have all the answers in a manual. There are some things that as a trainer you should know. For example, you won't find an anatomy chart in the manual, but you better damn well know your muscles and bones because you will be asked.
2 months is plenty of time. Don't freak. Take a deep breath, and don't limit yourself to just that manual for becoming a well-rounded trainer. I'm NFPT, but I disagree with many things about their philosophy, mostly because they are very body-building oriented, and I am more functional-oriented.
Read through the manual and come back into this thread with questions. I can tell you that you really need to pay close attention to the chapters on physiology. Most of the people that I have seen fail this test did poorly on those questions.
