Hi all,
I took my exam with the above score.
I wish to thank you all for the interesting questions and answers, especially to ubiquitous Valentin Cretatz.
For who is interested, here are my remarks about the exam:
1. I finally paid more the 150$ and it was a surprise for me. There might be small differences between the testing centers but there are not so big.
2. I learned from the RHE. I passed once from begining to the end and once in the opposite direction. I took the mock exam that comes with the book.
3. JQplus is good, there were questions very similar to some I met in the exam.
4. I learned all the IO constructors by heart and I repeated the methods quite often.
5. I did not spent to much time on Collection and I had luck, the questions I've received were more qualitative than actually refering to some precise methods with strange arguments. RHE was enough here.
And finally the exam was more easy that I've expected to be, actually I was not very confident after making JTips, but passing harder exams gives you "wings" on the real exam.
So, success to all the ones that will give the exam!
BTW I am sure that one question was wrong, I've checked it also after the exam. I made some coments while giving the test. From the testing center I found that this is the way to proceed and I will receive some feedback.

Regards,
Cristian

"actually I was not very confident after making JTips, but"

Okay, I'll bite. I've got just about every Cert book or set of notes known, but what is JTips?

Thanks Bibin and Malar!,
About your questions Bibin I can say that in my opinion JQ+ is good. I cannot say better than JWhiz because I didn't bought the second one.
I do not think that there is a way of thaking it for free, but I do know that they have some free mock exam. You can try it: http://www.enthuware.com/jqplus/tryit.html !
