I did approximately the same. I did not feel the need to prepare
intesively for the practical, as there was little iformation about it.
It was indeed an exam that tested experience. Reading only helps to
clarify and enhance experience. How can I put it? A book usually tells
you about the ideal network. Experience tells you how a "good" design
may fail in time and what happens if you planned poorly or if you
ignored the business environment. So you should look for books that
tell you just about that. But there is no shortcut.
