Title: I passed in spite of this book.
Product review: This book is awful. The sample questions contain tons of errors. The included software is detrimental to your success. This book doesn't even contain a section on File I/O which is on the test. The section on threads may be the worst explanation of threads I've ever seen.I ended up studying in a bookstore with their copy of the Sybex Java Cert. book, while it contained errors as well, it seems that the authors actually know something about the test.To be fair the section on Garbage Collection is great. It contains one of the best explanations of weak references and phantom references that I've seen. The only problem is that these topics are not covered by the test.
