I sat this yesterday! It is a bit differnet, and in my opinion, better.
Better because there is actual router simulation involved. I had to configure OSPF on one! I was caught out on IS-IS as I only started to study that at 6am the morning on the exam. My diligence was rewarded with %20 on IS-IS content. I fared better overall and go an excellent overall score (considering my performance on IS-IS). It focussed mainly on IS-IS (approx 10 questions), OSPF and BGP. Very little on EIGRP. I have only really ever configured EIGRP and BGP and I still did ok. Never seen OSPF before or since! I studied for one week beforehand. I used the old Ciscopress 503 exam guide. This was ok and went into more depth than the exam did. I borrowed the course notes for the IS-IS content, but did not retain anything much in the hour between 6am and 7am! IMHO, you will be fine with having done the course and a bit of revision. Some have said in cramsession it was way hard - only hard if you have not prepared well! I relied on my practical experience and just browsed the book. In the final 10 minutes, I was sure I had failed, as all the IS-IS questions were at the end. I was running through my head when I should resit, only to be surprised (really surprised...) that I had passed!
