Preparing for the Exam

If you are approved to sit for an ABOR examination, you will receive a Content Outline and a Reference Book List for the examination.

The content outline provides high level information on the subjects that will be covered on the examination. The reference book list includes AAB publications, online resources, and third-party textbooks that applicants may find useful in preparing for the examination.
