I'm considering the SCJP 1.6 certification exam (CX-310-065 or 55). I'm reading the (U.S.) exam costs three hundred dollars.
Is this correct? Seems a bit rich. Aside from this - the K&B SCJP study guide book appears to be good preparation material.

Are there any other recommended materials?

Any comments would be appreciated - thanks.

Of course the cost of certifications and courses vary, it's best to check with your local prometric center.

In U.S., SCJP6 exam fee is $300. It is same for all other Sun (java) exams too. (SCWCD, SCDJWS, SCMAD, SCBCD, SCJA etc)
For SCJD - the total is $600 (essay exam + assignment)
For SCEA - total is $900 (exam + assignment + essay exam)
