hia mate

im taking my cs 38 / 39 in a couple of weeks and wondered if there is anything you could suggest i might want to do to get myself prepared, the main thing im thinking is my knots maybe how to splice or loop a rope etc . ive been looking at the knots on the forum but not knowing what i would use means i dont know what to look for . also is there any reading matter i could get ive heard the tree climbers companion is good , any ideas ? i would be most grateful for any advice cheers ray
