Any advice about the "best material" out there? I am taking the test in the end of July, have the official Cisco book, but looking for a good advice.

I could not agree more, I already bought one catalyst today and on the way for some more. Sad part is that I manage a a Windows network with a load of devices but cannot shave on the company beard if you know what i mean.
I actually used a free lab sim environment. Check out
As for books, which you need, I think I used Sybex for the CCNA. I used Cisco Press for the Press for the CCNP. just find one that you can follow through easy enough, do a few practice exams to gauge what you dont know and then re-read those sections.
A tip that was given to me that I feel obligated to pass on: If you're doing practice exams and you dont know the answer to a question, dont bother guessing, your cheating yourself. Go back and re-study the topic.
Cheers
I like that one...
