By the way, i studed only by Kathy Sierra's book, I only had time to read the 6 first chapters, half of the 7th, all two minutes drills and made all simulated.
I can tell you that not reading thread chaptehr was not a good thing, I got 12% on this section and almost failed because of it. A very important thing is doing the 10th chapter(very last chapter for SCJP 5 exam) exercicies on the same day of the exam, it's easy, but must be fresh in your mind!
