Actually - I have. I took the new written in Beta form. I helped Kevin
Wallace write a book for Cisco Press on how to pass it.

The new written exam is very difficult. Lengthy questions that really,
really, go deep on subjects such as redistribution and BGP. These
question types are surrounded by shorter multiple choice format types
that could only successfully be answered by someone that has been
doing networking each day for some time.

As the blueprint details - many stale topics are completely gone (for
example, Token Ring, FDDI) and they are replaced with fresher topics
such as Wireless.
