Whew! I passed with 88% and am very happy about the score.
I would like to thank the following individuals (in no particular order):
1. Velmurugan Periasamy. His study note is awesome.
2. Dan Chisholm. Do his mock exams, especially if you want to do well in the threading questions (I got 7/8 correct). Heck, just do all the questions (500+) and you will be fine.
3. Everyone on javaranch.
4. Authors of "A Programmer's Guide to Java Certification" - Khalid A. Mughal and Rolf W. Rasmussen.
5. Folks at JWhiz
6. Folks at JQPlus (I was the lucky winner of the beta version).
7. Marcus Green. Do his mock exams too.
8. Most importantly, my wife Julie for taking care of our 4 month old while I was studying.

Dan's mock exams have a total of 500+ questions. among them, about 60 of them are threading questions.
In general, his questions are a little tougher than the real ones.
