Just curious... did anyone who took the test find that 2 hours was insufficient time to complete the test? ------------------ Tom - SCJP --- Co-Moderator of the Programmer Certification Forums
2hrs ... I wish I only got 90 minutes, could have used the extra half-hour. ------------------ Jane Griscti Sun Certified Programmer for the Java� 2 Platform
I'd have to say that the 2 hours is very generous. I answered all the questions in just a tad over an hour, then spent 5 minutes or so reviewing marked questions, and that was it.
I found the time was more than enough - I was worried, as I left the testing room, that I'd finished too quickly and had probably missed something obvious. (I couldn't find anything else that I thought I'd done wrong, and had enough in my head to pass the exam.) Look at it this way - if it wasn't enough time for most folks, they'd raise the time limit. ------------------ Theodore Jonathan Casser Sun Certified Programmer for the Java2 Platform IBM Certified Specialist - WebSphere Application Server, Std.

Yup, 90 minutes. When they issued the new exam they originally reduced the allowed time, I wrote on Dec 14th and the next week they put the time back up to 2hrs! Timinig is everything ------------------ Jane Griscti Sun Certified Programmer for the Java� 2 Platform

2 Hours was not enough in my case, had so many loop-increment decrement questions that my brain almost exploded, I think I am an exception however, usually 2 hours is more than enough. ------------------ Greg Georges Sun Certified Java Programmer for the Java2 platform (SCJP)

I felt like 2 hours was enough but not by much... I finished answering the 59 questions with about 20 minutes to spare and then used the 20 minutes to review.

I got 2 hours allotted, was done in half-hour, forced myself to use another 10 minutes on double-checking everything... If you think you'd be pressed for time - take mock tests and time yourself.

2 hours is plenty imo as well. I finished in less than an hour and used about 40 minutes to go over every answer for fine tuning.

It took me fifty minutes to complete the test. I used some twenty minutes for review. So there were plenty of time left. ------------------ Antti Barck It Solutions Consultant -- NSD Oy (SCJP pending)
