Arboriculture by Harris, Clark, and Matheny is a super must have.

I'm not sure there was much "study" material that would have been beneficial... I thought it was one of those things that you are ready for or not. Not that there aren't some great materials out there, but to me those are part of continual learning - and BCMA is kinda a gauge of continual learning, right?

Right. As differentiated from the BCAE
(Arborist Emperor) which represents the absolute pinnacle of lucidity.

edit: please excuse silliness on account of depression from looking at thermometer this morning.

I don't think I would have passed the test without studying (I was a certified arborist for about 20 years prior). I stuck to the list provided by the ISA. I spent a few hours a week for about 2 months. It was a challenging exam.
