I scheduled my exam on 11th November 2014 and after attempting for the exam for the very first time I got certified as well. I consulted the book SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 Exam 310-065 by Kathy Sierra & Bert Bates http://www.amazon.com/SCJP-Certified-Programmer-Java-310-065/dp/0071591060.
I just wanted to pass information to the ones interested in getting java certified that they must read this book carefully and avoid the dumps so they can be conceptually very strong
