Hi Sameer ,
Threads are'nt that tough.You can study from R&H or if you want to know a bit in depth you can refer O'reilly's book on Java Threads or
Thinking in Java by bruce eckel which covers a lot in Threads with several codes and also on ThreadGroups.Be sure you know the thread fundas well.It could come in the exam.

It is difficult to say try Khalid mughal or O'Reilly or Thread Programming by Pau Hyde.
However I think Khalid mughal and Rhe r enough

Hi Sameer
Welcome to Javaranch. We follow some rules pertaining to User names. The rules are specified at here
Your User name does not follow these conventions. It is recommended that you immediately register under a name conforming to the conventions.
Regarding Books on Threads. To start out with i followed the Core Java II section on threads which is good for an introduction to threads.
If you want additional reviews check out here
Hope to see you around with a changed User Name.

I was not that thrilled with the O'Reilly book, other people have said that Mughall and Rasmussen is good on the topic. Hyde gets good reviews at Amazon but if you buy M & R you get all the other certification stuff as well.
