What can I study to help me pass the exam?

There's no one resource. The books that are used to create the exam questions are under "references" on the preparation page for each exam. The subjects you need to know are listed in the Body of Knowledge (BOK). A thorough understanding of the BOK and the subjects it covers are the basic requirements for passing the exam. ASQ offers several certification preparation tools.
