 Try setting up examples from IP Quality of Service.
 I read the book before the exam, and it was good,
 but
 I would have rather had some time to configure up a
 bunch of examples.  Even better would be to read

 and

 I took the CCIE RS Beta this afternoon, here's what I experienced:

 About 1/5 of the exam I thought should be on the CCNA instead (Make
 sure you know ITM well for this part)
 About 1/5 of the exam I only knew because of my 5 years+ IP/Ethernet
 Cat5k/Cat6k/7x00 experience (especially know IP Multicast, OSPF,
 BGP, STP, VLAN, UDLD, VACL/RACL, etc)
 About 1/5 of the exam I thought were really math questions and not
 Cisco questions (Know various QoS case scenarios from IP, FR,
 ATM, etc)
 About 1/5 of the exam I figured only a person who worked 5 years+
 doing IPX would know
 About 1/5 of the exam I figured only a person who worked 5 years+
 doing SNA/DLSw+ would know

 Which means I probably got 2/5's of the test's answers wrong, putting
 me ~60%.  I hope the pass rate is near that number.

 When you go through the blueprint, do not skip over anything; it's
 all on the exam.

 The insight that there are a lot of IP Multicast and Catalyst 6500
 questions was true in my experience as well.  If you don't know
 those down cold, you probably shouldn't bother taking the test.

 Cisco LAN Switching is not enough to get by, but Routing TCP/IP
 Volume II is probably the best book you could read that covers a
 lot of the material (lucky I read this the night before the exam).

 If you are lacking in any areas, reading isn't going to help too
 too much since a lot of the questions are really exercises with
 real world examples and interesting concepts that can only be applied
 with hands-on exposure.  Make sure you get that hands-on exposure
 if you aren't working with it day-to-day.

most written tests are written by folks who love writing questions that 
folks will get confused over or how really obscure, the written tests 
shlould be interactibve and test your cisco knowledge rather than your maths
