Java Collections are a separate objective area, but are
not new with the October 4, 2000 exam changes. Know the
valid interfaces and classes, and also the attributes of
each. Think about question scenarios where are you given
a set of requirements, and asked to choose the best choice
of collection class used.
Key items of note with the October 4, 2000 exam changes
introduced by Sun and Prometric:
o The question pool was scrubbed, and completely redone
o Checkbox questions now tell you how many choices there
will be ( for example, if two of the answers are correct,
it will say "( choose two )"
o The Questions are now code centric. Code samples are
abundent. Rote memorization questions are passe. Questions
like "What is the value of X on line 17" are the types of
questions they are really trying to
test you on
o The passing score of the exam was reduced to 61%. For a
period of time ( October 4 through December 20, 2000 ) the
time limit of the exam was 90 minutes. The length of the exam
was restored to 120 minutes on 12/21/00, and continues to be
120 minutes
