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.

Sounds like a pretty straight forward test. Time to look into it.
Here's my question though, if you (cross fingers for the 25th of Jan.) have your CFA, does the CSC provide any extra benefit, or is it a requirement to work in the industry? It seems like the material covered by it is extensively covered in the CFA materials as well.
