That's why I'm not rushing to take the exam. We had one fellow last week mention that he had passed the exam, but it was his 6th attempt, I imagine his study habits changed quite a bit over time so I'm sure he's an exception and not the rule.
No vendor is going to be up to speed on what's needed, the exam came out a barely a month ago. Strategically, it's better to wait a few months at least before taking the boot camp and/or take the exam, even if it means that the exam will become harder as time goes on (personally, I think it's a bad idea for Cisco to ramp up the difficulty before a year has lapsed. Everyone is trying to catch up as it is.) If Cisco's decided to start testing for knowledge and relevant skill, taking some time to master the topics on a fundamental level is a benefit to the market and themselves.
