All of this is fine. If one wants to really pass this certification, then the best way is give it from a learning perspective and not just clearing it. Java is not something that you can memorize and move ahead with. Take your time, build projects and write code and when you feel confident with java skills then go for it. Do not spend on additional paid resources as this exam itself is expensive. This suggestion is obviously for those who aim to learn, if someone wants to just circumvent the test then there are lot of options.

Exam is fee expensive beyond the spent on the learning resources. They could also allow few attempts to pass the exam.

Yes, that would be awesome. Regarding fees, last April on the account of 25th anniverary of Java, you could give the exam for just $25.

That's the actually the most correct way and I must say that intangible benefit of certification outweigh the tangible benefits in terms of recognition but there are times when getting certified is required.
