Sammy,
Instantcert is good for this one.
Take a look at the free AG online study guide here:

Also, check out this Glossary of Congressional and Legislative Terms:

This is not a difficult exam to pass. But Excelsior requires a high score to earn an 'A' (69). In fact, it is the highest cut-off score Excelsior requires for an 'A' of ALL of the available exams. Usually an 'A' is in the 50's or low 60's.
I don't know whether TESC assigns grades for this one or not. I'm sure you already have that all figured out though.
Here's a copy of what I wrote in a different thread...
....................
The first ten amendments (Bill of Rights) are tested extensively on this exam. Know them well!
You should also be familiar with the issues raised in the "seven articles" (Eg, what is the Supremacy Clause, interstate relations/what form of government is the US, how are the three branches of government organized/how do they inter-relate, what is the process for amending the constitution, what were the ratification requirements).

Good luck on this exam,
