Since I didn't take any of the RH1xx or 2xx courses, I cannot really say much. The RH300 is rather disappointing in that respect...the instructor really did not teach much, I felt, except go over the material and through the practicals.
So at best it was exposing you to new areas covered by the exam like you say...
while it was some time back, the rationale for the RH300 was a rapid-fire
coverage of all the topics you needed for the RHCE exam. it was meant to
amalgamate all of the content in the RH033, RH133 and RH253 courses in a single 4-day boot camp, if you will.
its goal seemed more as a review, as in, "here's all the stuff you're going to need" and to fill in any gaps you had. it was most emphatically not for those people who needed to *learn* all that stuff. if you didn't know the vast majority of that stuff already, you were definitely in the wrong place.

Oh was that it? It did kinda make the point that it was for preparing for the RHCE.
I guess then the whole RHCE thing just proved disappointing....only because a student I had asked me whether I had taken the RHCE and then told the class that his company or he heard that a company sent a bunch of people, which was about a dozen if I remember, to take the FULL RHCE stuff right from RH1xx at a cost of like 50K HKD per person. The result?
Only 2 got a 'passing' grade but not enough to get the RHCE while the rest flunked. The only person who did get the cert was a non HK guy called Alan (figures eh? HK people then to use cram books in preparation for exams you see) who setup Hong Kong Linux Center.
