Best way to prepare for the Upgrade Exam: Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (CX-310-066)

I'd like to take the Java Certification Upgrade exam for Java 1.6. I'm certified in Java 1.2. What would be the best way to prepare for this exam?

Upgrade Exam: Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (CX-310-066)

+3  A: 

I'm studying the "normal" exam (not the upgrade), and I'm using this [great] book:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0071591060

By the way, how the acquisition of Sun by Oracle can affect to Java certifications? I suppose (I hope) they won't change soon.

Greetings!

That's funny. I used an early edition of that book when I prepared for the 1.2 exam. I'm glad to hear it's still a good choice.

I had a quick look at a pdf version of a colleague and decided to order the book right away from Amazon.

I also wonder how the acquisition of Sun by Oracle can affect the Certifications... :s

+1 for the Sierra and Bates book recommendation - it's excellent. Comprehensive and fun to read.
