IMO, if you are truly a beginner you should not even consider taking certification exams until you not only understand Java, but can program competently as well.
If you somehow passed the exam but can't program it will do you very little good, if any. It will also devalue the certification.
IMO, they are barely worth the paper they are written on. AFAIK, there is no educational and/or experience requirements, at least in the more general Java tests,like more valuable certificates, but unrelated to Java, like CISSP.
I know this is a bit off the original topic, but something to consider.
