I was wondering if the two books recommended here on javaranch ( A Programmer's Guide To Java Certification and The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide ) cover all the material that is on the latest SCP test. I heard the test has changed some since those two books were written and was wondering if maybe I should wait to a newer book edition comes out? Any advice?
thanks,
Rick

The objectives as published by Sun changed very little, just some improved wording. There is a lot of discussion on this in the archives.
I am in the middle of revising Java 2 Exam Cram and Exam Prep for a second edition, but the changes are generally minor, just improving the examples, expanding areas that people have found difficult. The mock exam applet in the Java 2 Exam Prep CD will resemble the new format more closely.
(Anybody got any suggestions for those books, please speak up.)
