Passed the Engineering Cisco Meraki Solutions v1.0 (ECMS 500-220).
Start working with Meraki in 2016, did the CMNO in 2018, attended the ECMS2 in 2020, got several Meraki Black belts, the Meraki FIT programs, and the Meraki Guru.
Deployed several projects with Meraki solutions; offices, warehouses, retail stores, hotels, schools.
So I decided to capitalize on all that knowledge and go for the official certification and it went well.
I think it's a fair test, the typical 60 questions/90 minutes multichoice test. It's not easy, but it's not very hard if you have some years of experience working with Meraki.
As for testing material, I don't know any other vendor that provides so much information and lab environments for free (as long as you are a Meraki partner and have a valid Cisco login).
Here's the list of material that I've consulted:
Manuals and videos
ECMS Exam Self-study Guide
Meraki learning net, especially the deep dive sessions:
Learning Meraki Net
Meraki Black Belt program:
Black Belt - Engineering - Meraki
Practical labs
Meraki has also a site that suggests the equipment required to build a self-study lab environment
ECMS Self-study Lab Supplement
But even if you don't have access to Meraki equipment, it's possible to run some labs at Cisco's dCloud:

(my favorite) Cisco Meraki Launchpad for Partners v1
