I don't know if this post is welcome because of such a low score, but here are my comments:
I have no experience working in the programing field.
I read "Thinking in Java" from front to back, and used the Exam Cram as my study guide.
I visited this site frequently and usually found answers to my questions in previous posts.
The exam consisted of approximatly:
4 String questions
5 Layout questions( only one on GridBag layout)
3 Garbage Collection questions
0 MediaTracker questions
I also only got 2 fill-in a blank questions
This site was a huge help. Thanks to all of you I am now certified!
My question:
Now that I passed with such a low score, is it possible for me to get a job working with Java given that I also don't have any experience?
I hope this post will help somebody.
Any feedback on my question will be greatly appreciated.
Again THANK YOU!

Congrats Steve,
This is a very friendly place. Don't feel that way. You are an SCJP now. Now move on to your next step. Our very best wishes to you.
