Hello,

I have been a C# programmer for many years and am making a career switch and moving into a Java programming job which requires certification.

I was wondering how long (in months) does it typically take to prepare for the Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) exam?



Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

My personal experience is based on Java 1.4 exam. It took me 4-5 months. I followed Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates' book and took lot of practice tests.
I started as a newbie to Java as well. Now I am preparing for the upgrade exam based on 1.6.
