I've written the CSC, CPH (conduct & practices handbook), OLC (Options Licensing Course), DFC (Derivatives Fundamentals), PFSA (Personal Financial Services Advice), FP1 (Financial Planning 1).

CSC was pretty easy. Read the book(s?) once and you should be fine. Pretty straightforward stuff.

You can buy the CSC check if you're concerned, i think its ~$100.00 and gives you a few practice tests and end of chapter quizzes.

The CSC is two tests though not 1. If i recall the 1st test was pretty much just basic economics stuff, with part 2 getting more into taxation, margin, bond yields/coupons and financial ratios.
