I suppose you could say that Exam Cram books in general represent an innovation in certification study guide publishing because they concentrate on the exam objectives and thus are highly efficient. Exam Crams are not general purpose texts.
There are lots of example exam questions and there are "exam alerts" scattered through the text to emphasize points that are very likely to be on the real exam. We also discuss test taking techniques - which people who get very nervous in exams seem to like.
A number of users have commented on how much they liked the section on "Self-Assessment" which you can take a look at here.
I hope that answers your question.
Bill

One of the things you are getting in a book by Bill and I is a text by people who are not just knowlegable on the subject but experts on the exam itself. It is possible to know Java but not to know a great deal on the specifics of the exam.
I almost never go onto the web without reading the JavaRanch programmer certification forums and I have received thousands of emails from people who have taken the exam.
As Bill has mentioned, the book concentrates on just the exam material so, as the title indicates it is ideal for cramming on only the relevant subjects.

hi to Bill and Marcus
Firstly, thanks for your time to answer my question.
And I see all of the content through the web link, I wonder if you can tell me how many test covered in the book?
Only MC format?

I'm not sure if I understand the intent of this question, but anyway...
1. Only the 310-035 certification exam is covered.
2. There are two complete example exams with discussion of the answers in the text.
3. There is one exam on the CD - unfortunately in a Windows only format - don't blame us, its a publisher decision for the whole series.
