Hi JavaRanchers, I want to thank you all for your support. I cleared the SCWCD with 86%. Exam Tips: 1. Take a look at the Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 specifications 2. Play with the official reference implementation, Tomcat 3. Books: SCWCDExamStudyKit by Hanumant , More Servlets and JSPs by Marty Hall 4. Practice JWebPlus Mock Exam 5. JSP Syntax card, DTD, TLD, Servlet and JSP API's (Exam Cram) 6. Velmurgan's Notes, Ken's notes and Alex's notes. Also you can refer to my web page for quick notes on JSP and API poster.(not fully completed) http://www.geocities.com/n_rajasekar My special thanks to Javaranch for providing the info about the latest books and the mock exam. Future Plans to write SCEA or IBM158 Exam. Good Luck to everybody Thanks, Raj SCJP2, SCWCD

Congrats! raj..Good work! You mentioned that you have read SCWCD study kit and Practice JWebPlus Mock Exam. Did you get the JWebPlus Mock Exam from the CD that is included in the SCWCD study kit? or you buy it seperately? How is JWebPlus? Thanks Nancy

I just bought the JWebPlus and it didn't include pdf version of study kit. I checked and found the promotion has expired on June 30. Maria
Congrats, nice score. Can you post the links for all the notes you used?

Thank you guys, Nancy, I bought the JWebPlus software and got the PDF version. No idea about the CD that comes with the book. Tracy, I got 4 questions on design pattern all these are covered in the Manning book. Maria, You missed the good deal, anyhow you can get the e-book from Manning publications. ($$$) Marcelo, Yep, I'm in the process of putting all my notes in my web page. Thanks, Raj SCJP2, SCWCD
