Hi All,
I am planning to go for my SCJP1.4 this Saturday.
So wanted to know from your experiences, if there are an special tips like carrying earplugs etc. or any other unwanted surprises that might happen at the exam center for which I should be prepared?
Thanks in advance,
Shetal

Hi Shetal,

Do as much mock exams as possible. The K&B mock exam questions are the questions you get at the exam.

Take a bottle of water with you.

Good Luck,
Darya

Don't drink too much water during the exam Just make sure you are sufficiently hydrated to concentrate.

If you are not laughing at yourself, then you just didn't get the joke.

your exam doesnt start on your appointment time and date,

it starts the night before,..

take enough sleep...and plan your trip to the exam,

you dont want to be lost for 1 hour, stressed and worried you will be late...

if you want, you can do more reviews....

whatever you do, remember, you will have hard time to answer questions, if your body and mind is stressed

i also choose a test center will least seats, and best privacy,....

also with a toilet close to test room....as you dont want to lose time when you have to go to toilet

k&b mock is at the end of the book

I personally feel the temperature is cold in the test room. I donno why ...but my feet get cold. wear shoes not sandals. that will also reduce restroom trips.
