Recently, there have been a few good pointers posted at javaranch on what to expect on the exam here and here.

"Don't expect the exam center to be quiet. (going last on the day might help. I was the first one for the day and lot of people were coming in and going out in the middle of my exam.)"

I may have to call the exam center and ask about this. If it is busy in the morning it may be a good idea to take it later in the day.

"I wasn't able to review drag and drop question. The software was giving a warning that if I try to review the question then I'll have to re answer them which was really frustrating."

This is a huge deal, and I've seen a lot of complants about this on the forum. This should be fixed asap!

"Inner classes with most weirdest combination appears every where. You need to know the in and out of inner classes."

This is where I may have trouble... inner classes that extend inner classes anybody?

"Don't skip the tough questions thinking you can revisit them later because some of the questions appear easy, but it may not be that easy once you start thinking deeply!"

I think you could probably skip questions, but if you are skipping every other question maybe you should relax and just answer them. You can always mark the questions to look at later but at least put your best guess.
