I just took it last week. InstaCert cards are on the money for this test. Make sure you know all of the court decisions in the cards because they are ALL on the test, and it's not possible to narrow your choices... ie: they had these answers for like 5 straight questions:
A) Mapp vs. Ohio
B) Gideon vs. Wainwright
C) Powell vs. Alabama
D) Some other case but I'm drawing a blank
If you don't know the cases perfectly, you will likely get a bunch of questions wrong.
Tons of questions on juvenile deliquency, but again - nothing that IC cards won't prepare you for.
If you go to the 'exam specific' section, I recall a few people posted some exact questions (and their answer choices) of which ALL were on the actual exam that I took.

Best of luck!
