Hey @John D. Have you taken all the classes? Why are you waiting 6 months?
You can certainly start studying all the things you mentioned, but they won't help you with the test. Knowledge is important, learning about the market, learning how to talk to buyers and sellers, negotiating, and so on. However, you have to keep in mind that you are starting a business. Marketing is the most important skill to learn to give yourself an edge. You need to be able to demonstrate what makes you different than every other agent out there and how you create value for your clients.
