Hello,
I have been preparing for the exam with The exam cram, and most recently JQ+ exam. I was able to get in the 70's on the exam cram test; however the JQ+ easy exam has just blown me away at 50.
Does anyone have any suggestions of cramming for the exam? Like a methodical approach to study instead of this hit or miss method that I have been using. What my plan was just take tons of sample tests until my score was consistently in a decent range, but this is not very organized; and I could loose much time with this shotgun appoach. Besides my scores are "not" consistent from test to test.
Any suggestions would be helpful? Even good exam prep tests? etc.
Sincerely

Hi Charlie,
Check out Marcus Green's Exam Tutorial; also, Maha Anna's pages and the JavaRanch Certification FAQ for pointers on what and how to study.
Relying solely on mock exams, is, IMHO, not enough.
Hope that helps.

Jane,
Thanks for the information. I will re-analyze how I am studying for the exam.
