You must have 75 percent or better to pass.

Joe-diver, that is a very good point. DMC need to be aware of the Risks and Business aspects of the job.

One note about the Divemaster Conducted Prgrams Exam -- the current DM crewpack contains a CD with the Instructor Guides you need. There is no need to borrow/steal/purchase a full Instructor Guide for the exam.
I would also recommend taking the DM manual and going to the back where there are like 168 questions. Along with the workbook I answered them as well in preparation for the exams and internship.

As a pro I expect to be paid. If that's too much to ask then expect the kind of service you would get for free from anyone else.
In law school we learned to prepare comprehensive outlines of our courses. The outlines were time-consuming to create, but it made studying for the final (the only exam, incidentally) a lot easier.
I thought about outlining the DM manual while I read it, but I found a shortcut--I discovered that the instructor manual has a lecture outline for each of the topics covered in the exams. I reviewed those outlines the night before the exams, and obviously after I had read the DM manual and had completed the workbook. The lecture outlines, with very few exceptions, tell you everything you need to know for the exams.
