Hey Thanks All for your wishes
)
Baiju,
Info abt my Cert Prep:
BOOK: As I mentioned earlier, I initially studied for my 080 version from the 'Deshmukh' book and later I had to prepare for the additional portion (tagfiles, simpleTag etc) from the HeadFirst book. So I would recommend the 'HEADFIRST' book for your exam. I dont think the new 'Deshmukh' book is out yet. Anyways, even if u keep the exam aside, the Headfirst book is a real cool book to read. I was so impressed that I am planning on reading the Headfirst WCD book just for fun, although I am already done with the exam! The 'Headfirst' collection is something all of us should buy.
PREP TIME: I studied for less than two months with a 8-to-5 job routine.
PREPARATION: You can read a lot of tips on the WCD forum, along with links for mock exams. As for me, I gave some jdiscuss mock exams, apart from the 'Deshmukh' and 'Headfirst'(65%) Mocks. Give the HF mock just before the exam when you are completely prepared. Your score would be around
"20% + your HF mock score"
Other than all this, I can't think of anything else right now. I have posted my exam-experience on the WCD forum. Let me know if you have any other specific Qs.
