I took the CDT exam a couple of years ago for the firm I was with, but ended up leaving after I registered and before I tested. I think I studied a couple of hours a night, reading the book cover to cover, and used the study guide. I don't remember everything I studied, but realized this week that some of the things are very similar to some parts of the ARE. I was out of school about a year and a half at that point. Oh, it's now computerized too, which it wasn't before.

You will not find a better course of study for understanding the basic relationships of parties to the typical design and construction contracts, and the various documents that make up a complete set of contract documents. This is basic no BS information that, frankly, ought to be mandatory study for anyone pursuing a career in architecture, engineering or construction. The exam is not that difficult if you have studied and if you have experience other than concept and schematic design. Knowing the information necessary to pass the CDT will give you a leg up on your peers. Count on it.
