I was planning on bringing the reference manual from lindebburg but still have not heard back from the board.  Did you already get approval to sit for the exam?

A dictionary could be helpful on some of the concept questions that they ask, especially if you are not familiar with what they are asking.  The answer could just be a matter of looking up the definition of the term. Like most references people bring to the exam, you may look at it once or twice,  or you may not even open it at all.

I used one while studying. I don't think I opened it during the exam, but I had it with me. You never know when you'll need it. It might answer the one question needed to pass.

I had a dictionary, didn't open it.
