Karthik,
You have made the right choice of buying K&B book.Try their mock exam and it is really good and also Dan's exam is supposed to be tough when compared to other exams.I have seen many mock exams simply cover topics which are not at all related to exam objectives.I heard from many people that if you can score 80+ in Dan's exam then you are quite good with ur prep.Inface am also preparing for SJCP and will be giving the exam sometime in May third week.JavaCertifcate.com mock is pretty easy so donot go with it since i donot score well in other mock exams even my score in javacertificate is 90%.More over,it all depends on how confident you are!!.All the best.
Thanks,
Ramnath

IMO: 65 - 70 on Dan's == More than 90+ on main.
Good Luck to y'll.
