The link "http://www.pokertda.com/get-poker-tda-certified/" states under "FAQs ABOUT THE POKER TDA LEVEL 1 EXAM" that the exam is based on the "most recent Poker TDA Rules and Recommended Procedures." Therefore, I studied the 2013 Rules Version 1.1, Released Aug. 11, 2013. When I decided to take the exam, I noticed that the exam noted in parenthesis as the most recent rules is "2011, Version 2.0," so I studied those rules. Subsequently, I saw that the link to the most recent rules is "http://www.pokertda.com/poker-tda-rules/." This takes one to the 2013 rules.
Before I pay to take the exam, please let me know which rules to know in order to successfully pass the TDA Certification exam.

43: Multiple Chip Betting
When facing a bet, unless a raise is declared first, a multiple-chip bet is a call
if every chip is needed to make the call; i.e. removal of just one of the smallest chips leaves less than the call amount. Example: preflop, 200-400 blinds: A raises to 1200 total (an 800 raise), B puts out two 1000 chips without declaring raise. This is just a call because removing one 1000 chip leaves less than the amount to call (1200). If the single removal of
just one of the smallest chips leaves the call amount or more, the bet is governed by the 50% standard in Rule 41. See Illustration Addendum.
49: Non-Standard & Unclear Betting
Players use unofficial betting terms and gestures at their own risk. These may be interpreted to mean other than what the player intended. Also, whenever the size of a declared bet can reasonably have multiple meanings, it will be ruled as the lesser value. Ex: “I bet five”. If it is unclear whether “five” means
500 or 5,000, the bet stands as
500. See Rules 2, 3 & 40.
58-B: Penalty options include verbal warnings, “missed hands”, “missed rounds”, and disqualification. Missed round penalties are assessed as follows: the offender will miss one hand for every player (including the offender) at the table when the penalty is given multiplied by the number of penalty rounds. Staff can assess 1 or more missed-hand penalties;
one or more missed-round penalties, or disqualification. Repeat infractions are subject to escalating penalties.
