Credit by Examinations (CBEs)
Review Sheets. The CBE review sheets include sample questions (and in many cases, sample examinations) and explain the format of examinations in detail. CBE review sheets are not comprehensive and do not cover all the material in the tests. We recommend that you do not download review sheets more than 30 days prior to taking your examination to ensure you receive the most current versions possible. Access to CBE review sheets.

Textbooks. You do not have to order textbooks to study for a CBE since CBEs are not tied to specific textbooks. If you wish to refer to a book, you can use any Texas state-adopted textbook.
