JSDA Exam

Anyone here taken the JSDA (Japanese Securities Dealers Association) exam? Looking for some tips to prep for it. I heard it's mostly just rote memorization. Is it sufficient to just memorize the Q/A pairs in the Exercises manual, or do I really need to read the 3-volume guidelines?

There is a fellow here based in Tokyo who has offered a 2 day JSDA exam prep course for the past couple of years , I took it and can recommend this course - a large part of it is working thru previous examination questions with the instructor.If you are interested - his email is craig.dibble@yuki.net.Rgds,Grant
