It means Java Language Specification. For SCJP, objectives have been designed which determine the syllabus for the exam. It is upto you which source you want to use for preparation.

No, that's not really necessary.

It's a good idea to use the JLS to find out exactly how something works if you don't understand it, but I don't recommend trying to read the whole JLS from front to back - it's a very technical and detailed document.

If you're studying for SCJP, I think it would be a waste of time to try and understand the whole JLS - you'd better concentrate on the topics that are relevant for the exam, do mock exams to discover where your weaknesses are, and study more on those.

Books such as K&B are much more practical when you're preparing for the SCJP exam.

Exactly what Jesper said.

Bookmark the JLS for when you need to research something in detail. But if you're preparing for the SCJP, don't waste your time trying to go through it.
