A:
I got 90%. Follow those two items: 1. Read that book: SCJP-Certified-Programmer-Java-310-065 (Katherine Sierra, Bert Bates) A least once, if possible twice then you should have nearly 100%. At the end of each chapter you get test. 2. You should take a lot of tests: http://faq.javaranch.com/java/ScjpMockTests This will make you confident and you should not get into trouble in some tricky questions.. Regarding changes after merge with Oracle. There is no change in that exam, exam id (310-065) was not changed. In Prometric center you need to pick Oracle certification as Sun is not available there. Good luck!

The SCJP exam format shouldn't be changing in the near future, I received an email from Oracle confirming this:
The exam format and objectives for each of the exams will be the same as they were previously under Sun so there is no impact to those preparing to get certified.
As for the materials you need to learn, I would suggest the Programmer's Guide to Java SCJP Certification: A Comprehensive Primer.

A:
One of the best books to learn Java for the SCJP is SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 Exam 310-065 and the best way to train is by doing Mock (Google SCJP Mock).
A good site to continue to learn java is the BlackBeltFactory and its exams.
Is there a difference since Oracle bought Sun Microsystem ?
No, for now the certifications are the same. Soon there will be a new generation of certification (with JEE6 certifications) which matches the Oracle certification style.

What helped me was to write and test variations of code (without an IDE) as I read the books. Most of the stuff I was familiar with, but certification as you know is different than the real world. The exam attempts to trip you up on syntax and whether the program will compile - All the things we take for granted by using our modern IDE's.
