I did not but any book in preparing the exam. However I use a lot of resource from the net to prepare for it.
1. JavaRanch
2. www.xfront.com
3. sample chapters and notes from Elliotte Rusty Harold (http://www.cafeconleche.org/)
4. www.zvon.org
5. www.ibm.com/developer
6. Practise using Xalan and Xerces from xml.apache.org
I did not use xml@whiz for preparing the exam.
There was quite a lot of conceptual questions on DOM(difficult because I did not expect these). Some synatx question on Schema(not difficult). 1 question on XML security (difficult). Some questions on design(difficult)
Just before I got my exam. result, my expectation is 85% or more but I only got 77%.
