I'd recommend you go through as much CPE material as you can - old exam papers and course books for example. If your input is primarily CPE material, you can be pretty sure the vocab will be useful. Especially do the readings and even more importantly the listenings (read tapescript after) and try to understand these as much as you can with a dictionary - don't just answer the comprehension questions. If you can get a teacher for an hour or two a week or join a class it would be good for your speaking.

I don't like word lists - it's better to learn from real material I think.

The best person to ask is your teacher - he/she will know your level and should be able to advise you if you need to do extra work. The CPE is a tough exam and usually needs many years of studying English. There are other lower level exams like the FCE (=upper intermediate) and CAE (=advanced) which people usually attempt before the CPE.
