Passed SCJP with 90%

Passed SCJP with 90 %
I passed SCJP with 90% in last week. I thank you all at Javaranch - Ur queries, answers and experience has indeed helped me. I also found the round up games and mockexam list
especially useful. I am sharing my experience which would
be specially useful for those who have constraints of
time or some other type.
I am a working woman having a small kid, raising him all
alone, only with help of old parents and hence i had
constraints of time and energy. Also i don't have c/
c++ background - i am basically Oracle professional.
So i found my score to be a reason of great happiness.
I underwent special coaching for exam based on RHE from
an IITian. I used RHE for preparation and later Exam Cram.
I solved around 12 to 15 mock exams, some of them even
twice, since my initial score was not good. I had to take
3 weeks off before exam and last 8 to 10 days, i was
preparing for almost 12 hours per day. I found round up
games, review questions on jaworski site useful for
clarity of concepts. Among mock exams i found that following
together simulate real test qtns to a large exent - Marcus
Green 3 exams, Jxam - 200 qtns, Jaworski - 171 qtns, applied
reasoning, majji, boone, khalid, exam cram.

Can't control myself from being senti -
My parents' support and encouragement formed a driving force !
My kid's smile and activities offered good relaxation, of course !!
And yee - 3 Cs, pay a lot - Confidence, Concentration and Cool .. !
