Hi,
Do you have 5 more months to take the exam? This is a realistic amount of time to study for the exam. Maha has a lot of suggestions for study that she used.
In General:
1. Get the basics of Java via a good simple book or class.
2. Read Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel, it is downloadable
3. Read Mugal certification book or Heller's.
Test on each section as you finish the chapter (JQPlus is
good)
4. Use JQPlus exam to find any of your weak areas and study them.
5. Take Marcus Greens exams and
maha's exam,
take other mock exams as needed
By way of rummer, your score on Marcus Greens exams will
give you a good indication of your preparedness.
6. When you answer peoples questions, it also helps you to
think with the material. It does help you to clarify ideas
since if you don't know the answer, you must look it up.
Note: Having someone to answer your questions and clear your confusions speeds your up study time.
Best of Luck
