I have learned the heirachy for collections off by heart and also understand what List, Map and Set does in the way of sorting items.
I'd say you know what you need to pass the
SCJP exam. The pros/cons questions come up more in the developers exam. For the SCJP, you need only know how to use the classes, not what benefits an ArrayList has over a Vector or vice versa.
