My tips would be:
1. For every question you miss in a mock exam, find the right answer and force yourself to understand why it's the right answer.
2. Use memory tricks to remember the simple stuff like:
PIC (The order of Package, Import, Class)
3. JQPlus was the closest in difficulty I could find to the real
test.
4. Write things down during the test. Marking is good, but sometimes you'll make a complete guess, write down the number of the question with a clue to what is was about. You may find another question the answers it for you.
5. Take your time, don't worry about the time. Most people could finish in 90 minutes, so now that it's 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time left to review later.
6. Schedule the test. You'll never take it unless you schedule it. I scheduled a week in advance so I would for myself to cram rather then sit around and wonder when I would get the nerve to take it. If you fail, your better off, having seen what your in for.
Those were my concepts anyway. Luck plays a part as well. I received a lot of questions that were demonstrating the same concepts as the JQPlus questions. In fact, probably 20 questions were extremely simular, but definitly different.
