Good luck on your upcoming exam!
I used Sybex in addition to Meyers AIO on my OS, which I thought was extremely helpful in breaking down some of the topics I was a little shaky on, however I did not acquire it until after I had already taken the Core.

I used the Sybex for both exams and had no problems, used practice exams from everywhere. This site has practice tests as well as these:

nope, I found the questions in the book easier than what was on the actual exam although everyone gets different questions each time
