These books are inexpensive and they helpled me during my CFI Rating. You need to be very thorough with the knowledge as that is the hardest part on the checkride
I'm not flaming, but check the PTS, and check my post. My post was written to get posting party to look(part of being a CFI is knowing how to research). These are the books mentioned in the PTS, see this link from the faa website

IMPORTANT NOTE: You are not judged on your flying skills, you are allowed to make mistakes. But don't loose 200ft in a steep turn, and make excuses for it. Be honest with youself and the examiner.
