I have been reading the java books carefully and even got a copy of a book on java exam 310-025
I have been programming for several years as a C++ developer, so I have taken good notes on the differences between java and C++
The areas of classes/inner classes, polymophism, exception handling, therading was pretty easy for me to grasp based on my working experience in C++. I also understand how the Garbage Collecter works and I think I am almost ready to take the exam but I have one nagging problem, the AWT, it's my only week point.
So how to prepare for AWT questions? For anyone who knows, does SUN put a lot of emphasis on the AWT in the exam? What should I understand to pass this section without too much difficulty? I don't have much Java programming experience, so I can't rely on experience here, but at the same time I want to take the exam sooner rather then later.
Please advise, thanks in advance!

For AWT questions, focus on understanding how the different layout managers and their layout policies work. Components and events will also be covered so be familiar with those.
I like the coverage that the RHE study guide (see the FAQ) gives on these topics, so try to get your hands on one.
