These e-books do not represent the only references to be used as study material. Use of these e-books does not guarantee the successful completion of the test. The books listed below DO NOT cover Standard 4 – Nutrition, Wellness, and Food Science or Standard 6 – Consumer Resource Management. You will need to find other resources to study for these standards.
