oh, i'd love to win this book! i've been studying java for about a year now, and from what the posts in this forum say, this sounds like a great book about a fascinating and crucial topic. just what i need to dive deeper in . . .
congratulations, and good luck with websphere too!

hi - i was able to get info at the following site:
http://www.galton.com/~sun/
you will be asked for your registration numbers and test site number, both of which are printed on the results page you were given after the exam. good luck - i hope you get your stuff soon!

congratulations, umesh! and good luck on making the big transition. i'm doing it too - moving from marketing/graphics into programming. love it, and would love to hear more about your plan and how you're doing. (i'm going to school full time now, hoping to find some work next semester.)

congratulations on passing the exam! i too had trouble concentrating and was not proud at all of my score - at first. but that was over a week ago, and after reading encouraging words from people here, i now feel it's wonderful to be a SCJP - and to know which areas need some more of my attention. wishing you a great future as a SCJP!

you're so close, vikram, you can do it! some great advice above. what also helped me was, as i was studying some of the more complex class hierarchies (especially io), i drew charts of the superclasses and subclasses and their relationships with interfaces. sometimes a 'visual' makes a rather abstract concept more clear and solid. wishing you much success!

thanks, everybody! i wish i would have stumbled into the big moose saloon earlier, like before i took the exam . . . there's a great group of people in here! but better late than never, right?
and good luck to everyone who is going to take the exam soon - wishing all a bright future as scjp's!

brian - congratulations on passing the exam, and thanks so much for the encouraging words. you're right! after taking a 'mental health' day off, i'm going to dive back into threads and inner classes and keep learning more of this wonderful java language.

studied my brains out for the past 3 weeks or so, took the test today and scored a 64. though i'm not thrilled about my score, i am happy i passed and want to thank the folks at javaranch, levteck, marcus green, maha anna, and bill brogden. i was scoring in the 70-85% range on the exam cram tests and marcus' mock exams.
i was pretty nervous going in, and the first 3 or 4 questions were pretty tough questions about threads, which kind of freaked me out. i had trouble recovering. also, the effects of the large iced tea i slurped down 15 minutes before the test did not do anything to help my concentration!
looking back, i wish i would have taken another few weeks to study - including doing more actual coding while studying, as many of you kind folks have suggested. and i wish i would have gotten a small iced tea.
ps - is it 'polite' for potential employers or co-workers to ask about the sjcp score? if so, is it 'polite' for me to change the subject?
