You might want to start by not multi posting.
If you really feel the need to post to multiple groups, please limit
yourself to cross posting.

Save your money. I recommend looking at the JavaRanch site
www.javaranch.com . Good books would be either

The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide (Heller/Roberts), Third
Edition

or

Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2

If you get the Heller/Roberts book, make certain you get the current
edition!

After going through one of these, I would hammer away on the
javaranch.com Rules Round-Up Game until you can consistently get 34 or
better of the 36 questions per game. You should be ready to rock for
the Programmer test then.

I also recommend following through and doing the Developer test soon
afterwards...

Thanks for your time,
Tom.

I used that book and the Java Language Specification for the 310-035 exam.
I read the book twice solid and used the JLS for reference as well.
Then I did the practice exams and "skimmed" the book until I was confident
that I would pass the exam.
Note that the book contains A LOT of errors and it will pay for you to
download the errata list (since you might end up confused as I did at
first).
I can't remember my score (December 2002) but it was somewhere in the high
80's - and I was busting for a pee so I didn't bother check over my answers
(since I was confident of a pass).

I didn't use any reference for the SCJD assignment and exam (except for the
API documentation and google of course) and scored 95%.
Feel free to email me if you have any further queries.
