I don't think study guides actually help with the exception of getting someone used to taking tests. It is best to read the entire test and catch the theme within it before starting. I always scored very high that way.

NY Fed Sought to Limit AIG Disclosures: Emails

The New York Federal Reserve Bank under Timothy Geithner urged insurer AIG in late 2008 to limit disclosures about its payments to banks after getting a $180 billion government bailout, emails released on Thursday showed.

The email exchanges, between the New York Fed and American International Group Inc lawyers, showed that AIG initially proposed disclosing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in early December 2008 that it would pay counterparties 100 cents on the dollar to liquidate credit default swaps it sold them.
