Prepration:
==========
I prepared for about two weeks only but I already knew about Design Pattern, UML, EJB (already SCBCD), so it was not that hard on me.
I read following:
1. Cade's book.
2. John Wetherbie's notes. Thanks John.
3. Practice question from
http://www.geocities.com/subra_73/SCEA_Practice_Questions.htm Thanks again to publisher.
John's notes and the questions from above URL really helped me. I liked Cade's book as well. It's very concise and to the point. If you already know the detail of subject then this is best book to prepare you with a focus on exam.
Wishing good luck and success to all folks who currently are preparing,
