The official Pearson study guide is available freely online. It includes an overview of the test and sample questions for each of the text’s sections. The video analysis section is described, but no sample video is provided on the website. This will be the most reliable resource for accurate sample questions which adhere to the current test format.

Mometrix’s NYSTCE School Building Leader (107/108) Test Secrets is a paid study guide for the SBL examination. The text is available in both print and eText formats. Both versions are priced at $39.99 through the Mometrix website. Both versions are also available through Amazon at a slight markup, but with the added advantages of Prime shipping and kindle format options. You are also able to preview the kindle version through Amazon’s website.

Reviews of this test prep book are mixed, as it presents general study content in a well-organized format, but many reviewers claim that the sample questions in the book do not accurately reflect the current exam. The bulk of the text appears to be general information on the topics/buzzwords that may appear on the test, plus a good deal of general “tips for test-takers” filler material.

Pearson produces a large textbook titled //Preparing for Educational Leadership: A Study Guide for Success in Taking Educational Leadership Licensure.// This text is far more comprehensive than what is necessary to study for the SBL exam alone, but may be a wise purchase if you plan to continue on to take the SDL exam and would like to take a deeper look at the topics covered.
