I want to thank Javaranch for being part of my certification experience! I was more of a listener than a participant for this certification. Thanks to all that posted and replied to questions.
I seriously started studying about two months ago mainly after work for about two hours four time a week. I used Head First and looked over the specs briefly. The exam is broken up pretty evenly across all objectives. The one section that I hade the most problem with was custom tags. I only implemented the simple tag examples in the book not the classic. So if anything I would recommend doing both.
When I took the mock exam on the book I scored a 57%.
I had about the same amount of questions on custom tags. It's really my fault for doing so bad in this sections I briefly read over the section in the book and had never implement one before. I am really more of a back end business developer.
