I have passed today 1Z0-898 (Java EE 6 Java Persistence API Developer Certified Expert Exam) with 91%

My study was as follows:
1. Read completely "Pro JPA 2: mastering the Java Persistence API" by Mike Keith, Merrick Schincariol. Pro JPA 2.0 is very well written, highly recommended.
2. Completed all four tests in Enthuware's JPAD 6.
3. Read completely JPA 2.0 specification. JPA 2.0 specification is a Bible for this exam - must read.
4. Read second time Pro JPA 2.0.
5. Completed again all four tests from JPAD 6. Important: make sure you read all explanations from Enthuware's JPAD 6 - it has questions similar to ones you will get on the exam. All simulator's questions are relevant to the exam.

Some random tips for test takers:
