Well, I took the test this morning and I passed. My score yesterday on the Marcus Green test was 74%, and I am rather pleased with my results. It was stressful, though.

Here was how I prepared for the test:
5 weeks reading the Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates book (excellent text)
3 weeks spent doing mock tests of all sorts (Self Test Software, www.javacertificate.com, Marcus Breen, Sun sample questions, etc.)

Thanks to everyone for their recent responses to my questions. I am so glad this test is over. I wish my score was a bit higher, but I won't complain.

Earline -

Congrats! It's a really hard exam... that's why the pass percentage is low!

Thanks everyone! I am so glad this test is over. I am going to rest for about a month and then I will start preparing for the SCJD.

I would like to thank everyone, especially the authors of the text books I read and the creators of the mock exams for their excellent materials. I could not have done it without these materials.
