Cleared SCJP with 93%

Hi folks,
I cleared SCJP today after almost 4 months of preparation. I owe a big thanks to Marcus the great, Ajith, Maha, Jim Yingst Roseanne(for javachina ofcourse), Jyothi and to everybody else in this discussion who helped me learn something new almost everyday.

The exam was nothing like any of the mocks(I was scoring a consistent 95% in almost all mocks), but I'd still say Marcus's 3rd test is pretty close to the real one. I used RHE's Study guide and Brogden's Exam cram and feel both the books cover the objectives pretty well.
Looking at the future, I guess SCJD is the next target. Could anyone recommend something on this.
And a big thanx again to all you wonderful people and I'd keep visiting this site everyday, there's still so much to learn!!!

Hi,
Thanks folks.
Well, about scoring in the mocks, it's not the first time, second time. Read each line and word of RHE and write lots of codes to confirm what's written. I did that and I would have written hundreds and hundreds of small codes to test facts!!! You need to understand the compiler well after all.

There were two tests that I still find quite difficult...one's pgjc and the other is Abilash's quiz. And it's not that you need to score 95% everytime. I was barely passing the mocks 2 months back. So cheer up and follow the rules of the game and you are sure to win. I would suggest Maha Anna's preparation tips on this same site. And try out every mock exam you can lay your hands on. I learnt a lot from mocks. And ofcourse a daily visit to the Saloon will really pay off.
