Passed SCJP with 98%

Hi,
I cleared SCJP today with 98%. Feeling very excited about it. I made one mistake in Threads.

Thanks to javaranch, K&B book , marcus green mock exams and Dan Chisolm exams.

I feel K&B and marcus green mock exams are more than enough for getting a good score.

Hi amit,
I would have prepared for SCJP for 2 months. I used K&B book for preparation. I think that book is sufficient for the exam. I first read the whole K&B book once and solved all the self-test. I was not confident at that time. SO I revised the book again until I understood the concepts.
Corey's SCJP tipline is a good reference material for many concepts. I worked out lot of code. Then I started taking mock exam from Dan chisolm. Since I didn't have enough time I took only the comprehensive tests.

Other than that some of the mocks that are very helpful are

Master Exam (This i took one day before the exam. It helped me a lot)
Marcus green - 3 mock exam
Tests from Javaprepare web site
Poddar's Questions (for equals)
Sreenivasa Kumar Majji's Questions

I feel the first two mock exams I mentioned are good enough. But solving others will give you some confidence.
Before the exam I went through the two minute drill and the exam watch in K&B.

Work out lots of code. Take mock exams constantly. If you understand the concepts you are ready to take the exam.

I feel the exam was not very tough.It is easier than Dan's and comparable to Marcus green's exams.

Hope this helps

Good luck

By writing code i meant both. You can use a mock exam as a learning process. Just cut paste the code and view the results. You can also write simple code and work it out.

This helps a lot
