A very Important thing- Coding,Coding,Coding. If you have time you can write small programs to check your concepts.

Hi Sonir,
1 month is a good amount of time. Don't worry much.
1. Thoroughly read RHE in 13 or less number of days if you haven't read earlier.
2. For Inner Classes discussion, I would recommend Khalid and Mughal's book if you have. or if you can borrow it from anyone who has already taken the test and who has that book and can lend you. (last option photo copy OR Javaranch Camfire stories -Getting in touch with your inner classes)[worst case Thinking in Java free]
For I/O, learn all the constructors from all the important classes from API. Know the purpose of each class. Concentrate on File,RandomAccessFile.....and the list goes on. Do all of them.
For Threads, RHE is good. Learn all the Methods and their purpose and usage(important).
For AWT, API and Vel's notes.
3. Velmurugan Periasamy's notes if you haven't gone through.
4. Do One mock each day starting from tomorrow or what ever date you feel comfortable. But make sure you do atleast 20 mocks that are given in Maha Anna's page. Save Marcus Exams 1,2,3 for you last few days those are close to Exam pattern(as SCJPs say).
5. The exam mainly tests if you are capable enough to identify the errors. You will not get this by learning the concepts from books(most of the books. few exceptions). You will get this by doing the mocks. They are pretty good to teach you what you need. And they clear your concepts. So do as many as possible.
6. There is no time for you(according to me) trying to answer the questions of others. As you already know the those concepts.
But post those questions which you have doubt. They will get cleared by Masters at Javaranch who are there always to help( god bless you guys). Answering the questions is not a bad thing to do. But here the time factor comes into play.
suppose you are free and are spending 8 to 10 hrs a day doing or learning Java then, you might probably think this as a revision and answer some of the questions which you like.
If you are hardly spending about 2 to 3 or 4 hrs then I would try to read the posts but not answer them. There is lot to learn in Java. [Guru's correct me if my thinking is wrong and my suggestion is not good]
If you do RHE properly and understand the concepts and are able to do coding then that is fine. you can get good marks in exam. Even if you don't do the above mentioned things(other than mastering RHE and doing mocks) that should not be a big problem.
7. A very Important thing- Coding,Coding,Coding. If you have time you can write small programs to check your concepts.
Many people who get (good scores)80's,90's and above are getting them because of their Hardwork. Plan your things. Stick to basics. Know the objectives,learn the basics,do mocks to check your concepts, keep yourselves COOLand get the job done(Main Exam).
HIH.
