Anybody pass ROUTE test with new practice materials?

Just want to know if anybody has passed the new ROUTE exam with the updated practice tests.  What was your experience?  I am studying for SWITCH right now, and dying for an update, but I might switch it up and go after ROUTE while SWITCH is being updated.  It might be worth it if it might be awhile longer. I have had great success with how2pass previously, but I always like to see what everyone else's experiences are, any pitfalls, inaccuracies, or just opinions about the exam in general.  I like to be mentally prepared as well as technically prepared.

OK, passed today with a 941. There were 52 Questions and I got 120 minutes. The questions were pretty accurate, but alot of the ones i got were asked slightly differently or the drag and drops were setup differently.  I would recommend to not memorize the format, but learn the real answer and why.  I made sure that every question on these practice tests, I researched in the ROUTE exam guide. 

Also,
  I got labs 3, 6, and 7, none of the simlets.  THere was something weird about Lab 3.  I thought it was going to be easiest, but there was something wrong with it.  i almost want to say it was an error, because instead of areas 0,1, and 2, There were two Area 1's.  Also, no matter what I did, I could not get the interface going to real Area 1 to show up in "Show IP ospf Interfaces".  The serial interfaces were UP/UP, but the "Show IP ospf Neighbor showed the neighbors in a DOWN state.  The only way I could get the Router A and B to establish a neighbor adjacency was to remove the area 1 stub and stub no summary commands.  There was one thing I noticed about the Area 1 interfaces that was weird, but after 20 minutes or so, I finally decided to skip it and go on.

In Router A, the Serial interface was up, and the serial states were all up(DCD=up DTS=UP ...), but in Router B the interface showed UP/UP but the states were down.  I noticed that both serial interfaces had the "Clock Rate 64000" listed on there.  I tried removing on router B, but it still didnt work, but now I think I should have taken the "Clock Rate" statement out of Router A, since it was the spoke/or stub area.  THat's the only thing I could think of, so hope you all have better luck. 

Thanks How2pass, This is the best study material i have found to date, but I will add the caveat, "If used properly as a study aide, not as a brain dump."  Candidates, do the work, and use GNS3 if you can't afford the real equipment. It was especially important on the LABs where it was not simulated here...
