I did not use their practice exams as there was very little time for me to study. I reviewed a ton of commands I was unsure about and learned a bunch of really basic stuff I actually did not know. But once I got the basics down I was able to pass - not with a high score though. I agree with eMeS - what you really have to do is use it. If I had had more time for labbing and using Linux on a daily basis I would have passed with a better score. I think a casual Linux user could pass this easliy with about 3 months of study and prep. It was not nearly on the level of difficulty as the 70-270 Windows XP exam from MS.
