I have passed SCDJWS (310-220) with a score of 98%.
My resources were:
1) RMH
2) Blue prints
3) MZ guide and Quiz
A huge Thank You to Ivan for clearing a lot of my doubts that would crop up from time to time. Great guide Mikalai. Hope I can look forward to similar quiz material when I appear for my upgrade exam sometime in the next 6 months
This forum has been very helpful and would like to thank you all for helping me pass this.

great score ...congrats Can you tell me the question pattern? I mean:
Did they cover all topics equally? If not, which portion should i concentrate most?
How much code snippets did you get and from where?
Do I need to remember APIs...could you suggest some?
I did not find any good resource for the last two objectives of the exam: "General Design and Architecture" and "Endpoint Design and Architecture"...Can you suggest some?

Hi ,
Well its was pretty much equal coverage. For the last two objectives , I referred to Mz's guide and the Blue Prints. Read the Blue Prints thoroughly. A lot of questions are from there.
You need to know JAXB , JAXP API very well. Also pay attention to the UDDI Inquiry and publishing queries.
The exam wasnt that tough , but do take time to sit and understand everything and what the BP says on certain topics like WSDL and other specifications.
I have spent close to 2 months perparing for this with 4-5 hours put in each day. This exam requires a lot of reading , so when planning for this , see that you have the req prep time.
hope this helps.
By the way Ivan Krizsan is a Ranch Hand and has also come out with study notes for the SCDJWS 5 exam.

Hi Sachet ,
Congrats . its a very good score .
Where do you download or Buy the Blue Prints from ? did you refer to Ivan's study guide too ?
What do you plan on doing next ?
hi sachet,
out of curiosity, did you work in webservices before appearing for certification? did you use any mock exams or simulators?
