You need to know IS-IS, BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF equally well for the exam because each exam will be different. When I took my routing exam (the old one), I had almost all OSPF (I think it was OSPF. I know it was very one-sided on one of the routing protocols). Other people I talked with said their exams were very one-sided on different routing protocols (one said BGP, the other said EIGRP). I'm sure the new exam is the same way. You never know what you're going to get!
