Final EXAM for CCNP VOICE

I'm approaching my final exam for CCNP-V, which is TVOICE 8. I've been researching as much as a can and utilizing tools on the Cisco Learning Network as well as video from Kevin Wallace. I have access to servers and hardware, but is there anything else I should focus on for this exam. I've heard that this is a tough one.

Here was my CCNP Voice order:

CIPT1 8.0 - April 2009
CVOICE 6.0 - Feb 2011
CIPT2 8.0 - Aug 2011
CAPPS 8.0 - Sep 2011
TVOICE 8.0 - Scheduled this week.

In my opinion it was the most difficult of the CCNP Voice exams. What contributed to the difficulty with preparing for this exam was that there was no set study material. I found myself reading about SDI/SDL traces from the Troubleshooting Cisco IP Telephony book that was copyrighted in 2003. I brushed up on concepts from CIPT1 & 2 6.0 books. I also read material from CVOICE 6.0, SRND's and SIP Trunking. I was fortunate to have worked on CCM 3x up to CUCM 8.6, so I wasn't totally overwhelmed. While reading over some concepts I had the ability to VPN to a clients network and play around with features like Mobile Connect and Extension Mobility to confirm settings. Lastly, I left the testing center really questioning some of the Q&A on the exam, there were several instances where I felt other options listed were correct.

Wish you the best on your exam. Hope this helps.

Here was my path:

CIPT1 6.0 - April 2009
CVOICE 6.0 - Feb 27, 2011 (DAY BEFORE DEADLINE)
CIPT2 8.0 - 2011
CAPPS 8.0 - 2011
TVOICE 8.0 - 2011

This exam really stressed me out. When I got the CONGRATULATIONS after hitting next on the last question I just sat there in silence for a bit. =/

I know exactly what you mean..

so far I have gone through the V6 TUC material , the CBT's, SRND's and the TSHOOT quick guide.. other than that, my home lab .. honestly, just loading up RTMT and running debug's.. but as most of us who have spent hours n hours on our home lab... problems are reality.. and running debugs should be second hand nature.. the only thing that worries me is the saf info and the traces.. im gonna hit that hard over the weekend.

im really hoping to simply just pass this one.. =|
