Hi Henrique,
First of all, a warm welcome to CodeRanch!

Of course, I know it will depend on the time availability, etc, but in general terms, 1 chapter/month is ok? or 2 chapters/month? what is usual?
That's very hard to tell as you didn't provide any details about your java experience. If you are seasoned developer, you might study this first 6 chapters in 1 week. If you have no experience at all, 1 month per chapter might be more realistic.
My main advice is always the same: take all the time you need, don't put yourself to some freakishly unrealistic deadline. A certification is not just about that piece of paper you get (although it's nice if you get a raise once certified
), it's about much more: getting a better understanding of (in this case) the Java basics, becoming a better developer,... If you rush your preparation, you might pass the certification as well, but you probably have not reached the full potential.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel
