Join ISA. (ISA.org) It should be $100 for a year.

They have PE exam review Webinars (free if you are a member). They also have a study guide and sample exam (that you must pay for). The Webinars and study guide will give you some suggested reference material.

ISA also offers a three day review course. If you take the review class, the Study guide and sample exam are included with the class. Go to the ISA website and search the class numer "EN00", it will tell you where the next few classes are.

I took the review class last year, and took the CSE PE exam in October 2011, and passed on my first try!!!
