I'd say the two you've got are pretty well targeted at OSCE. To be honest i've not even thought about the OSCE yet although i've been reading this book which i would recommend; Reversing - Secrets of Reverse Engineering it might not be straight targeted at the OSCE although i think it's a tremendous read.

My pre-OSCE order looks like this:

The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Finding and Exploiting Security Flaws
Fuzzing: Brute Force Vulnerability Discovery
The Shellcoder's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes
Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition
Assembly Language Step-by-Step: Programming with Linux

I've also bought and registered for this (simply in order to get through the OSCE registration challenge already...):
SecurityTube Linux Assembly Expert

The latter which comes with the GDB course, which is a great bonus...

You're brave to even attempt this exam. Thumbs up to you.

A good online resource for testing the concepts and a bit more learning for RE and exploit dev is RPISec's course on github. It comes with a load of lectures, a load of labs, its free, and the labs are really good fun (frustrating )

The OSCE? Wow, now that is one hell of a test.
