Good book but needs familiarity with C#

I have read few other books for 70-316 exam preparation but I like this one the best. This book does not waste pages in listing and explaining the VB.NET code. This book is all about C# only, which is good because that is what the 70-316 exam requires you to know.
The most interesting fact is that this book is much fatter than other exam preparation books and surprisingly the cheapest one. Thanks to this book, it was pretty [inexpensive] and easy for me to pass this exam when compared to my old MCSD exams.

Title: A Programmer's Guide to Java (tm) Certification
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional
Authors: Khalid A. Mughal, Rolf W. Rasmussen
Rating: 3/5

Difficult to read, not a primer. Good to get certified

Many JAVA books fall into one of two categories. 1) Not complete or "real world" enough, or 2) Written for computer scientists. This book definitely falls in the second category. If Khalid actually speaks during a lecture like this: "Precedence and associativity rules are necessary for deterministic evaluation of expressions", pity the poor students. Also the author, continually refers to sections far ahead of the page you're currently reading.
However, when you're finished with this very detailed book, you should be able to pass the Java Programmer Certification. The completeness, and the abundance of review questions and program examples are why I giving this book three stars.
