Thanks everyone.
Arun: I spent about 3 months studying (not full time), I got my
SCJP in Jan'04. Initially I was quite motivated, did go through the book - HF EJB - to get an idea what EJB is all about.
After that I took a break, didn't read much for 3-4 weeks. Then again, I wanted to finish it off so did put in quite some time(approx-6-7 hrs) last month itself. Read the book again, took mock exams. I didn't go through the specs, but I think that would definitely help get better scores. Good Luck.
Regards,
Rashmi
