Yesterday I passed the
SCJP 1.2 exam with 84%.
For preparation I used:
1. K&B book
2. Whizlabs J@Whiz exam simulator
3. JCertify exam simulator
4. Several other
Java books for covering the AWT and IO-topics
I found the K&B book extremely helpful, because all exam objectives (except AWT and IO of course) were explained very clearly. The JCertify simulator was also very good, although I think their questions were a little harder than the real exam.
Unfortunately I didn't participate actively in the SCJP forum, but I read a lot of the postings which also helped me to clarify a lot of questions.
Good luck to all future candidates of the SCJP exam
