Stuart,
Depending on how much time and effort you can dedicate over the next 3
months, I would think that passing is a possibility. I'd say it's more
possible if you work with Cisco on a daily basis. You say you've read those
books, but do you understand them? Do you own a home lab or have access to
one? I'd say being 3 months out, you should be spending 60 - 70 % of your
time working on labs hands-on, reading only when you're unclear how or why a
particular solution was used. Also, I wouldn't worry about the written
expiring if you know you're not ready. What's the lab cost with travel
expenses? ~$2000. Written is only $200 I think, and should be a walk in
the park for anyone who's semi-prepared for the lab. Might be a good test
to see where you're at anyway.
