I am currently looking towards taking my next Sun certification exam. I am looking at the SCWCD exam and I am still undecided between two available CX-310-081 and CX-310-083. When looking at the exam objectives for both exams on the SUN web site there isn't much of a difference. The only differences are in section 7, i.e. Building
JSP Pages Using the Expression Language (EL). In this case the following two points are only in CX-310-083:
- Given a scenario, write EL code that uses the following operators: aritmetic operators, relational operators, and logical operators.
- Given a scenario, write EL code that uses a function; write code for an EL function; and configure the EL function in a tag library descriptor.
The main difference however is the pass score. The pass score for CX-310-081 is 62% (44 of 69 questions) while the pass score for CX-310-083 is 70% (49 of 69 questions). Also the time limit is different.
At this point I have two question:
- Is this correct information? Howcome the passmark is higher for the CX-310-083. If they are nearly identical I would rather go for the CX-310-081 as the exam is much easier, i.e. lower pass mark.
- Is the book for CX-310-081, i.e. SCWCD CX-310-081 Exam Study Kit, good for the CX-310-083.
