Hi Sumedha,
Well, yes - Pearson it is. But trust me, pearson is much much better compared to the old vendor. I say so because the User interface is damn cool and very user-friendly. With respect to the passing percentage, it is 72%. It is an easy exam. I did not get any visual questions - Questions that involve filling up the blanks kind of them with drag and drop facility. Read the Head first series, know the J2EE API (Just give a glance) and above all, do a lotta practicals. That will really help!
