Thanks for the responses. I've been reading the Que Certification series
(Amit Kalani) and doing their hands on exercises and practice projects ( and
there are quite a few of them!). So its not just reading... its reading with
lots of small projects, step by step exercises.

Wondering if people who say who've cleared the exam have had "actual" work
experience or not

Thanks
