I did the IP Expert stuff, have the full lab at the office (two 2821s, a 3750 POE, DL 380 G3s and G4s with CUC on VMWare); 3725 for PSTN emulation, term server... and 5 7965s and 4 7962s).... The key to my passing was two-fold... studying with the real gear with real phones... nothing against proctor labs, but if you can't see the phones you are calling, you can't be sure you are sending the right info and the right transforms, etc are showing up... If you want to know what is on the test, just look over the new features in CUCM 7... make sure you know them... if you don't, you can't pass. There is some weird stuff on the test and some comically easy stuff... just like every CCIE rack out there...
