I am a
SCJP now and absolutely delighted with the result.
Many thanks to Javaranch !
I prepared for two months full time. I mainly used RHE,Exam Cram,
Java API. I did all the mocks on Maha's site. Thanks Maha.
Difficulty level of the exam was intermediate.
AWT - 4
IO - 6
UTIL - 5
LANG - 2
THREADS - 6
OVERRIDING - 5-6
OVERLOADING - 5-6
FLOW CONTROL - 3
OBJECT CASTING,CONVERSION - 4
Also, lots of questions on language fundamentals, Strings, StringBuffer. A few questions on the default value for variables and References. Most questions had 8 lines of code. I got a few questions with upto 20 lines of code. Threads was tough, I got only 71% in Threads. The
Thread discussions in Javaranch and Maha's site helped me. Atleast 15 questions had confusing options.
Goodluck to future aspirants
.
Thanks for your wishes. The duration of the exam is 90 min. Well, I finished the exam in 50 min. I had ample time to review all the questions.
