My best advice is just for test taking in general. Don't overstudy the night before and go into the exam tired. You want to be well rested. Also, make sure the read each question carefully. As long as you've put in your time reading and using the tools, you will be fine. Often times simply reading the question wrong, or a poorly written question, can trip people up that are taking the test really fast. Anyway, Good luck on the test!!

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll make sure to take my time on each question and get a good nights sleep tonight.

I did take the class, but was pretty disappointed with it. I got my books in advance, just as Don had suggested. I've read through all of the official courseware, completed all of the labs in the lab manual, and I've read through the ExamPrep book. I setup a VMware lab to play with the tools. I created two study guides, one based directly off of the objectives from the EC-Council website and answers pulled directly out of the courseware. The other from the objectives listed in the ExamPrep book along with the 'exam alerts.' I combined the two and cut out stuff that I know real well into my own 17-page review guide. I'm a bit nervous but at the same time I feel fairly confident

Hey good luck with the test. The key is not to worry to much if you pass or fail. If you fail one time its not a big deal to take it again so dont stress it and go into brain lock during the test!

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys, I appreciate them all 

You know, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure. When I registered for the exam I didn't have a choice, I could only choose exam EC0-350. When picking the date though, it said that the 'test duration' is 3:15 hours, and the v5 test is supposed to have a 4 hour time limit. But when you login to the EC-Council prometric testing site, you have the option of which exam to take.

So.. I'm not too sure. I studied from the v5 courseware and the v4 ExamPrep book, so hopefully I should be covered either way

Well done, grasshopper!

Congrats dude! While it might not pay off immediately, you will at a minimum have gained some good security knowledge and have that going into an interview with a potential employer.
