can i have your short success story ......!!
Well I hope you'll also score good on the exam
Secondly my success story is very long. I prepared for
SCJP for 8 months (now you know how I got 98%). I started my preparation for SCJP 1.4 with the Khalid Mughal book but the Inner classes topic just killed me. So I decimated inner classes from inside out
. Then I came on ranch and realized that SCJP 1.4 was very old and there was a K&B book. Now I thought it would be bad to ask on the forum what's the full form of this K&B so I sent a private message to one of the members and he told me it is Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates book
. I went to a book house for K&B 5.0 book but instead I was lucky to get the 6.0 book. But just like Inner classes, Generics beat me and I thought of giving the 1.4 exam. But everyone encouraged me to go for 6.0 and finally I mastered generics too. I didn't get any of the paid mock exams (because I could barely afford the SCJP voucher and I didn't had any credit card or paypal account to pay them and I thought sending a DD is too risky
). I did the K&B master exam, Inquisition and the diagnostic and final exam of Examlab along with a lot of free mock exams and trial versions of paid mock exams. Also I used to solve a lot of problems on this forum which gave me the confidence. And then after a lot of preparation and effort, I gave the exam and cleared it. As simple as that
