I thought I was too old to study, but I did it.
Thanks to Kathy & Bert for their excellent book. Everything on the exam is nicely covered in their book. I read it twice to get a good handle on the topics. Re-read all the "exam watch" alerts day before the exam.
I also read Khalid Mughal's book and did Whizlab mock exams which come with the book.
I took tons of freely available mock exams like:
The JavaRanch Rules Round-up
Marcus Green's Mock Exam
Bill Brogden's Mock Exam
www.javacertificate.com Also used Corey McGlone's Blog "The SCJP Tipline".
Finally thanks to JavaRanch, It rocks!
