Need information about XML 141 exam prep...

[Neetha Kasuganti]

I am SCJP2, new to XML and planning to take the IBM XML141 exam. I read a couple of XML tutorials for beginners.I'd appreciate if any of you could suggest me how to start preparing for the exam. I have XML Bible. Also give me links to some good online resources that will help me get good % (atleast in IBM pre-assessment test). I came to know about the free voucher just today. I guess the number has already crossed 100. I'd like to take a chance, though. I don't have much time left. So, please help me.
Thank You
Neetha
