BSCI and BCMSN study tools. I would recommend Cisco Press and/or Sybex for books. My opinion is qutie obviously biased as to the best practice exams.

All that said... why would you take the composite instead of the individual exams? You won't save any money by taking the composite, as it is twice as expensive as the individual BSCI and BCMSN.

How will it be quicker when you have to study the same content?

I thought the same way at first, but BM's right.
The composite isn't any easier. The exam questions are randomly pulled from both banks (BSCI & BCMSN); so you have to prep for both exams anyway.

I'd suggest to prepare and write for each exam individually. Think of it this way, by the off chance you do fail one of the 2 subjects, at least writing them individually means you get one out of the way.

Good Luck...

...and pay half as much to retake that one exam instead of paying for the full composite again (and again?).
