Hi everyone,

Did anybody attempted SCJP-6? If yes, how complex is it than SCJP-5?

Thanks in advance,
Kalyan.

People often said that there are not much differences between SCJP 5 and 6.
However, passing score is different now. You should answer

47 TRUE answers from 72 in SCJP 6 210 minutes
43 TRUE answers from 72 in SCJP 5 175 minutes

So what you mean to say is SCJP-6 is more complex than SCJP-5. I am preparing for SCJP-5. Which one do you suggest me to attempt? SCJP-6 or SCJP-5? If you suggest SCJP-6, how much effort do you think one should put to prepare for SCJP-6 after preparing for SCJP-5 all these days?

Thanks for your immediate reply,
Kalyan.

Hey,

I have been studying for the SCJP5 this year.I have not had the urge to start studying for SCJP6.

the main differences in the content between SCJP5 and SCJP6 are highlighted here:

I think you should learn
these
classes/interfaces java.io.Console, java.util.NavigableSet, java.util.NavigableMap

then you should go for SCJP 6.0
It can take one week to learn these new concepts(depends on you)
However i said you before, passing mark is not same it has increased to 47
true answers...


these new classes and interfaces aren't hard to learn, the rest of the questions is same on the exam.


I think it is clear for now ?
