Hi,

Do all the questions in SCJP have same weightage ?. For a PASS, i just need to get any of the 32 questions correct ?

Please throw some light

Thanks

yup, and yup if 32 is the correct number for the exam you're taking

So, if you're pressed for time - blow off that one really hard topic that you know nothing about, and get really good at the others

(Did I really say that?)

In other words, if you suck at threads for instance, you can 0% on threads and still pass.


Eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. (If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much room.)

In the Master Mock exam that came with book of SCJP 1.4, i got 49 correct out of 65, which is 75%, the passing score was 800 and i got 708, so i failed. This led to the above question

the master exam software is really bad - we're working on it with the publisher - just disregard the engine's so-called "understanding" of what the passing rate is - trust what's on Sun's site. Sorry for the confusion.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://zeroturnaround.com/jrebel - it saves me about five hours per week
