Hi Dan,
I have done some of your exams. But Iam confused, since i'm going to write scjp 1.2 not 1.4. And everyone in this forum talking about the scjp 1.4. How far is ur exams useful for 1.2??
The difference between 1.2 and 1.4 is as follows.
The 1.4 exam removes the AWT and IO topics but adds assertions and a couple new classes in the collections framework--
LinkedHashMap and
LinkedHashSet. The wrapper classes and the Object.hashCode and Object.equals methods are further emphasized in 1.4.
Everything that you need to know about assertions is available in the document
Programming with Assertions.
For more information on the 1.4 exam, please see the
objectives.
My exams do not cover AWT and IO, but they do a good job of covering the topics that are common between the 1.2 and 1.4 versions.
My exams do cover assertions and the new classes of the collections framework. Since my exams are organized by topic, you can skip the topics that are not applicable to the 1.2 version of the exam.
