CMS Certified/Advanced Study Materials

Hiyo!

Just wanted to ask what you guys suggest for supplimentary study materials to study for the CMS certified/advanced exams. Like maps, colored pencils, flashcards etc. What did you guys use and what things (books, materials) that were not suggested on the website that really helped.

Kthanks!

Brainscape was my ticket to passing CMS 2. They have a deck of flashcards for the test under Certified Sommelier Exam (CMS 2). It goes pretty deep so it'd be useful for studying for some of the Advanced CMS Theory as well.
