How r the commercial exam simulators.Mainly whizlabs.Do i need
to get these simulators in order to clear the exam or with whatever
available(notes,free mock tests and questions) i'll be able to
clear the certification.

Andrew Monkhouse, one of our moderators, has had the chance to evaluate Whizlabs' SCBCD exam simulator and will soon post a review in Javaranch's toolshed.

The exam tests you in knowledge and understanding of the specification and *not* to particular app server. So you can use whichever you want.
I think head first EJB uses the Sun Reference Implementation.

Have installed blazix server on my PC.Is it ok to work on this server as far as the certification and working on ejb goes along??

It doesn't matter which EJB server you are using as long as the server is EJB 2.0 compatible.

Blazix server supports only EJB 1.1 specification.
