This is probably the best study guide available for the moment.
A few copies are available for pickup in Cambridge. 

The General Radio Telephone Operators License is required to 
service transmitters in the aviation, maritime and international 
radio services.  A Maritime Radio Operators Permit is required to
operate radiotelephone stations aboard large ships and certain 
aviation and coast stations.

At a later date exams will be available for the Commercial Radio 
Telegraph operators licenses and the Global Maritime Distress and 
Safety Systems (GMDSS) licenses.  Amateur Extra Class operators may 
be particularly interested in obtaining a commercial telegraph 
license as they will receive credit for the 20 WPM 2nd class code exam.

The MIT Radio Exam Team operates under the auspices of the
National Radio Examiners COLEM, part of the W5YI group.
