"I too just took the CHES exam in April and passed...What I found to be most helpful was reading over "Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating Health Promotion Programs: A Primer (4th Ed.)" by Mckenzie, Neiger, & Smeltzer. I think it would give individuals who have been out of school for a while a good "refresher" on not only the terminology, but also core concepts." Joseph D.
