Hi friends,

Today I have purchased sun certification coupon from sun pro-metric center and when I asked about SCJP 6 examination candidate pass percentage, then pro-metric center staff told me that 60% students Fail and only 40% students pass and pass mark percentage is below 90% (no one get above 90%). I want to confirm that above given pass percentage is true if yes then proper SCJP 6 study material/guide is not available in market or Sun increased SCJP 6 difficulty level ?.

I am preparing for SCJP 5 but interested in SCJP 6 examination. In this forum I saw that in SCJP 6 some genius scored above 95% and some persons get 98% too, So I'll request to all of them to help me and if possible then please send me SCJP 6 Mock test/Advise etc... [DELETED]. Please help.

Thanks in Advance to all genius

First of all, why do you take the SCJP 5 instead of 6 ?

You don't need to be a genius to pass the SCJP, it's not as hard as you think.
The reason why a lot of people fail is because they underestimate it.
People can code in Java for 5 years and still not be able to pass the test. Still they think - since they code for 5 years, how can they not be ready for it - they don't need any form of preparation and fail greatly.

The thing to notice is that there are many little things to watch out for that are impossible to know without studying for it. Some things are just so rarely used that even experienced programmers won't have used it in their career. This does not make the SCJP any harder, you just have to study what is on the exam and you are good to go.

As a study guide I would recommend the Kathy Sierra exam guide. It provides lot's of mock questions throughout the book and another 3 full mock exams on CD.

Really I think SCJP6 is not that easy...It needs tremendous exercise and training.

For many times, I was fraustrated by the tricky questions.
It seems SCJP expects the certification holder to be a good compliler.

You need the books by Kathy & Bert.

There is a sticky thread in this forum started by Mr. Bert Bates (who is in the exam team) titled - Info concerning updates to SCJp6 exam, you may want to read that. It has a mention about the difficulty of the exam.

What others have scored or said about the exam should not deter you from taking it. If you know the language(atleast along the objectives laid for the exam) you will score well. Dont waste your time worrying about its difficulty.


All the best!
