I just took the CEH last Friday -- passed it too. :)
I took a five day course previous to taking the test, but the test was
pretty different from what the class was.
There is a pdf you can download from brain dump that has most of the
questions from the test on it. I found that very helpful.

Subject: Re: CEH exam & hacking exposed
I took the exam about two years ago, and it did not reflect the course in the
least bit.
Judging by the recent replies, the format hasn't changed much.
If you wanna pass the exam, read the brain dumps and a few books.
If you're very serious about security, and willing to learn the "bad guy"
perspective, take the class.
Honestly, and I've said this before, the knowledge I've gained in that
week-long class was more than I could've hoped to learn on my own in two
years.
When you have two instructors with a combined security knowledge of more than
thirty years, it kinda speaks for itself.
Your other option.
Find a cracker who's not in jail.
Ask him/her to teach you.
Good luck convincing him/her that you won't use the skills in a law-tampering
manner, or that you're not with government.

Anybody can tell me if using the hacking exposed book is enough in order to
Take & pass the CEH certification ?
Thank you,
