I'm a SCJP !
This morning I took the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform test in Grenoble, France, and passed 
I had just written a long post about this, but Roller crashed when I hit "Post to Weblog", and all text was lost. I'm too mad to retype everything 
To make it short: I studied with this book, and it was very useful. As Abraham noted in the comments, the book has numerous errors, so be careful. I'm also almost 100% sure that there was at least one error in the actual test as well.
The test is composed of 72 questions, and last 3.5 hours. The minimum passing rate is 65% (=47 right answers), I got 73% (=53). Some questions requires an extended knowledge of the base Java classes, so perfect score doesn't make much sense (who knows all signatures of all methods of all classes in java.lang.*, java.util.* and java.text.*, except maybe James Gosling ??)
Drop a comment if you want more details.
Congrats! I too am a SCJP. I would like to point out that I also used that book and it is horrible. A lot of errors and incorrect information.
This book is far better IMO

The Roller crash is the final part of the test, didn't they tell you? ;-)
