For what it's worth, the study guides that are available outside the 
normal classes seem to lack accuracy in some areas.  I'm working on the 
one by Michael Jang now and finding the instructions on rebuilding the 
kernel to be inaccurate in several respects.  The Paper Tiger types 
would probably freeze up and not go any further.  While the book may 
give one an idea of what to focus on for the RHCE exam, I find myself 
frequently going to more authoritative sources for individual 
components.

I'm doing this on my own dime so it is definitely in my best interests 
to pass on the first try.

The most valuable thing I've been able to do is take the fastest PC I 
have and dedicate it to RHCE studies.  This means be ready to reformat 
and reinstall as many as six or seven times in one day, invite people 
to break it in ways that you can rescue it, etc.  While the NDA 
prevents any RHCE from telling you what to do, I've gotten the wink and 
nod from enough people that this approach is critical to preparation 
for the practical part of the exam.
