What exactly is in the SCJP exam?

[jacques du plessis]

Hi everybody just want to ask, as I don't seem to get a clear enough answer when searching in the forums, which sections will definitely be asked in the exam? I heard that gui's won't be in, what else don't they ask because I would like to take the time I would have spent on those sections and spend it on the relevant ones that will definitely be asked. Thanks. Sorry if this has been asked before

It's all explained on the SCJP-website

Thanks I was wondering if it was on the Sun site. That obviously goes the same for 310-055?
