Hi Folks,
I am Srinivasan. I wish you all pass SCJP in distinction. I am about to take the exam on 25th of Feb. I would like to share some hints for preparation of SCJP.
1. i feel its more of a Memory
test, so practise and revision is a must to
remember well. (First five chapters everything is a RULE. they demand
Some of your brain's act like a ROM with all rules burnt into it)
Why because,
1.1 we need to remember which access specifiers apply to general class,
inner classes(all types), constructors, methods, fields.
1.2 Coming to overloading brand new rules to practise and
remember with introduction variable args, and Autoboxing.
1.3 coming to data types, type casting rules. Like when implicit type
casting will be done. when promotion is done. and Wrapper class
functions for primitives need a look.
2. Collections: Brand new complie time type checking needs more practise to
digest.
3. Threads if you catch them ok. otherwise lost in "Matrix".
we need to through list of what is guaranteed and what is not guaranteed
4. Some classes from io package like Readers and writers , Strings, util
Date related stuff need practise.
