Ricky,
Welcome to the Ranch,
I plan to take the exam but still haven't decide which version will i take.
The
SCJP 1.4 has a lot of study material available, and of course we have Kathy and Bert's book, an excellent study guide. Whereas for the 1.5 version we lack the same.
I wondering is it big matter when apply for a job?
Well some employers might appreciate an employee with SCJP, but there is no substitute for experience. If you are new to
Java SCJP is the way to go. You will find many discussions on the net, regarding this question you have.
And is it the exam score matter to employer?
From my personal experience and that of my friends, I understand that employers do not care much about the score. But it never harms to score well. In my SCJP certificate there is no mention of how much I scored.
Good luck !
