When SCJP5.0 released?

[Anjana Ravindran]

I like to know when SCJP5.0 exam released. I believe people have started taking/ preferred to take this exam nowadays. Like to know how much time it takes for a sun certificate for its rollon/rolloff.

I mean which month/year this exam 5.0 got upgraded from 1.4. let me know

[Peter Petrov]

I am not an expert but I would say the exams don't get upgraded.

A while after JDK 5.0 has appeared the corresponding SCJP exam
also appears. And that is SCJP 5.0.
The old exam for SCJP 1.4 is still available.

There's another thing called "Upgrade Exam" but it is for people
who let's say have the SCJP 1.4 already taken and want to just
get tested on the differences between 5.0 and 1.4 so that they
can also get the SCJP 5.0 title. This way they take a "smaller"
exam (than the full one for 5.0) but also get the title SCJP 5.0.

I hope this helps.

Well, it was written in December 2004, then beta in March 2005, then live about May 2005, or right around there.
