No. of Questions : 60
Time: 180 mins
Passing score : 66% (though on website they have mentioned 58%, but in my score report passing score is mentioned as 66%)

The questions were more practical than theoretical. Also there were very few questions from sample papers.

I found the level bit hard and tricky than Java 5


Thanks,
Sneha

Number of questions has changed from 72 to 60
Pass score has changed from 65% (47 correct answers) to 58% (35 correct answers)
Time limit has been reduced from 210 min. to 180 min.

At first sight, it will be easier to clear the exam but,

Are the questions harder to answer?
Did the objectives changed in any way?

If somebody knows about it, will be glad to hear it

Thanks in advance!!!




Hi Rodolfo. I just took the SCJP6 yesterday (7/27) and found it surprising that there was only 60 questions. I ended up with a 86% (52/60), but was hoping to reach the 90% plateau, oh well...

I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about the exam, but I will anyways . But I'll first disclaim that my test may or may not be indicative of the entire set of SCJP6 tests. My test, at least, was pretty straightforward, definitely not nearly as many tricky questions like those in the K&B book/MasterExam. The time limit was indeed 3hrs (180 min), but my score sheet indicated that 66% was a passing grade (meaning 40+/60). There were no questions on Serialization/Backed Collections/Navigable Set or Map on my test, which was quite surprising. There were more questions on Enums and Inheritance (IS-A Has-A) than I expected. Overall, it was ok. After leaving the testing area, I felt I did pretty well, but was a little disappointed after finding out the results.

Hope I didn't give away too much, lol



On 25th July 2009, i have received the confirmation mail to take SCJP 6 on 3th August 2009 with the last requisites of the exam (72 questions and the pass score is 65 %)
Yesterday, I just found out that the requisites for passing SCJP 6 has changed (only 60 questions)

So what I will take the last or the new version of this Exam???
[quote=Dick Clapison]I used the following resources to prepare:
- Java Ranch Rules Roundup game and SCJP FAQ
- SCJP 6 book by Sierra and Bates (and its practice exams)

I also imagined seeing the result 'PASS' displayed on the screen during studying and when I first sat down in the exam room.[/quote]
