Hi, I answered the same questoin here

Answer 2

I did the exam with the only help of the "official book" and the tests it includes. Passed with 90-something%, after reading the book and doing all its exercises a couple of times.

You may also want to check the forums at JavaRanch.

If you have experience with Java, the exam will be relatively easy. If not, I would suggest you to code quite a lot for at least 6 months basic Java programs (console only is ok, no need to go into fancy web sites) to get a good grasp of the language and increase your chances to pass the test.
