Passed today OCP Java SE 6 Certified Professional exam. The feelings are dual. On one hand I am happy with the good result but on the other hand a bit disappointed with the difficulty level of the questions which is quite low.

To the people preparing for the exam I could recommend to read and practice using these 2 books:

http://www.amazon.com/Programmer-Practice-Exams-310-065-Certification/dp/0072260882
http://www.amazon.com/SCJP-Certified-Programmer-Java-310-065/dp/0071591060

Note that the level of the questions in both books is higher than at the actual exam. I, for instance, consistently got 60-75% on the exams in the book.

Also some actual experience with Java won't hurt as well ;)
