I've passed SCBCD 5.0 today with 81%. I am totally new to EJB and used the following books/mock ups Books ----- O'Reilly EJB3 (Gives a good understanding on EJB) EJB Specs (A definite must) Mikalai Zaikin`s notes
Mockup ------ Enthuware (A MUST and its cheap compared to Whizlab) Whizlab (Don't buy it as its not worth for the money)
I spent around 2 1/2 months - 2 hours per day in the week days and little more in the week end.
Though I was not confident to take the exam today, decided to try it as I had the retake option :-) And also I didn't expect to pass with very high % but finally managed to get 81%
Using Enthuware, out of the five tests i just passed two tests (~60%). Actually few questions that was present in the Enthuware appeared in the exam too!
Good Luck !!
Thanks ~Ashok K

I am also using almost same material as mentioned by you. I like one help from your side if you can specify which chapter form spec you found very useful it will really help me.
Congratulation Ashok and Thanks for sharing your experience, I am also preparing for scbcd5. Could you please tell me where can I get this Enthuware mock test and how much it will cost me?
I am preparing for the SCBCD 5 too and have got oreilly's book. Could you tell me exactly what chapters to study and a rough idea of what to study in them because I am running short of time and would still like to give the exam a shot.
