Hello Everybody,
I passed
scjp today with 91%.I used books by RHE and Bill Brodgen.I did not have the time to go through Khalid Mughal's book.I did not use JQ+ or any other commercial tester.
My marks in various mock exams were as follows.
Marcus Green 1 : 80%
-------"-------2 : 80%
-------"-------3 : 75%
khalid mughal 1 : 49% (without no. of correct answers given)
------"------- 2 : 85% (recent-with no. of correct answers given)
I am thankful to JAVARANCH.The discussion forum's,round up game etc. are very useful.
Also I appreciate the discussion forum on non-java topics(but related) like xml,ooad etc.I would have become a life member of this site irrespective of my score because the large number of expert people available at any time to give correct advice.
About the exam.Your core concepts must be clear.There were lot of questions on threads,overloading,overidding,IO,etc.As others have already said before please prepare the various constructors related to IO class properly.There were quite a few questions related to it.Also thoroughly review the answers at the end.I myself came across 2 very silly mistakes I had made,while reviewing the answers.
Bye and all the best to javaranchers preparing for the certification.
