Again, the Scrum Guide is a key source for questions on the CSM Test.
You are certainly welcome to read here (this wiki), at my blog Agile & Business (see http://www.leanagiletraining.com/blog/), and at a special Yahoo group called AgileBusiness (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/AgileBusiness). Please also contribute, even if only with questions.

See Agile Info, here: http://www.leanagiletraining.com/resources.html
There is a whole LOT of info on and "beneath" this page. It includes: books, articles, blogs, yahoo groups, "user groups", etc, etc.
Local Groups: You should join a "local" group. Or start a local group or an "industry" group.
You should be aware of:http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/agile-atlanta/info
Agile Atlanta - http://agileatlanta.org
If I recall, there are 4 user groups in Atlanta that are agile/scrum related. One is specifically a scrum group:
http://www.meetup.com/agile-38/
And they meet in different parts of the city.

Suggestions:
We place the highest value on taking action and getting real results.
Put what you think you know into action. Now.
Find out what you don't know as well as what you thought you did.
Find out what you need to know the most. Now.
Learn more (for a bit). Act more.
Learn-Act. Get into a tight cycle. Like a PDCA cycle.
We want you to pursue this with perseverance and aggressiveness, and at the same time patience.
