I think it really depends on what hands-on experience you have. For myself, the course material and the exam guide PDF with some sample questions is enough, but I combine it with hands-on experience.
If you lack any hands-on, I can imagine the HPE Press study guides may help you to get some additional knowledge to pass the exam.
What is the experience of others??
