Hi there,

I am looking to start the designation with CPCU 500 as soon as possible. Does anyone know where I can purchase used books?

Best source is Amazon.com for new or used books.

Amazon would be a great place to look first, or even ebay. If you can't find anything there you could go to your local used book store, if you have one, and search for it there!

I just listed CPCU 520 & CPCU 530 materials on ebay. Both listings include the following:

1.Brand New, Never Used, The Institutes textbook
2. Brand New, Never Used, The Institutes workbook
3. BigDaddyU DVD set, I just watched these videos and passed the exams.
4. BigDadyU Workbook--marked these up a little bit but I didn't mark up any of the quizes.

Passed both exams with ease using these materials.

If you are looking to take these exams you should be able to get these materials pretty cheap via these auctions, good Luck!!

If anyone is still interested I have the CPCU 500 book, review notes, study guide, practice exams, flash guards I will sell at low price for all.

In total, the CPCU will cost nearly $5,000, so i've put together some tips for reducing the cost of the CPCU designation, including great resources for renting books, buying second hand material, applying for scholarships and double checking to see if your collegiate credit can waive a CPCU exam
