Jane, congratulations! I am studying for the exam currently and have the CAP 2018 Study guide. I can tell you though, I also have the 3 month subscription to the SmartBook version and ordering it was the best decision I made. The interactive study guide tests your knowledge as you study and suggests where you need to go back and spend some more time. It's great for practice  

Jane and Hannah, all the best to you as you embark on your certification journey.

I agree. Order the SmartBook on IAAP for practice. That truly does help. Also, join Marie Herman's CAP Study Group. Marie provides you so much information and certain things to read that will help you pass the exam. Best of luck in your endeavors!
