Java 5 SCJP take 2!

After being a little demoralized last year (what, I can't learn the new features in 4 weekends?), it's time to take up the gauntlet again and count down till June when I absolutely have to take the Java Certified Programmer Exam for Java 5. My voucher expires then, as I mistakenly bought the voucher before I was ready to pass the exam.

Do not buy the exam voucher until you finished 80% of your studying! Would be my suggestion in order to save you money.

Because it would be unhappiness to fail the exam.

Anyway, take 2 begins!

Wish me luck.

Current useful study guides:
* Java Tutorial for the Sun Certified Java Programmers Exam
* a practice exam a day (Java 5)
* last minute review guide

I'm thinking about buying this study guide:

But am balking a bit at the cost. Still, it's convenient.

There's also Marcus Green's book.

In the end, Sanghera's book left me more confused than anything. I guess I really need to practice and work out the new concepts; just reading a book won't do it all.
