I heard this morning from Oracle Certification that I have passed the SCJD certification, but I won't know my scores for another few days. I uploaded my SCJD assignment on 09 February 2010, and I took the SCJD follow-up exam on 10 February 2010. Nine (9) weeks later to the day, I finally heard about my certification results after many emails and conversations with Oracle/Sun. Just to be clear, that's 9 weeks of low-level anxiety. I'm very glad that I didn't fail, and that I didn't need to re-submit my assignment. I've already started to forget some of the finer points that made my project work.
The project itself and the certification work were interesting and challenging. I really enjoyed working on the project. I really didn't enjoy waiting for my certification results. The rest is history.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank Roel De Nijs and Roberto Perillo, as well as the other bloggers who revealed their secrets. Without this forum, I would have had a difficult time completing my SCJD project. I will brag about some of the unique aspects of my design after I'm certain that I didn't embarass myself with a score of 320. Probably, early next week.
Well, that's great news and I'm very glad for you, champion! Congratulations for the achievement!!!

SCJD is a Pass/Fail exam. We do not provide detailed scoring on Pass, and we only offer section scoring upon fail so that a candidate can legitimately resubmit. The purpose for the pass/fail information is to attempt to keep the exam somewhat secure. Detailed scoring, while interesting and educational to the candidate, can erode exam security. I can tell you that your score was a 362 out of 400.
Thanks,

I received the preceding message from Gary Fluitt, today, almost 11 weeks after I submitted my SCJD assignment.
So we don't get to know the detailed score anymore?! Oh, Oracle...

Congratulations, Harry!
How did they let you know you passed? Email? Via the website (which one)?
I have checked various links in the SCJD FAQ and cannot seem to find anything on my test. I turned in my project a few weeks ago and took the essay test soon after.

Hi Adam,
Thank you.
Oracle/Sun informed me that I had passed the SCJD with an email message (9) weeks after I had submitted my project and completed the follow-up exam. They informed me of my score (1.5) weeks later with the attached email message.
Best regards,
Harry Henriques

My waiting has ended! Today I received an email from DEVELOPER <developer-submit_US@oracle.com> letting me know I passed:
Adam,
Congratulations! You have passed the Sun Certified Java Developer certification.
You are among the elite 1% of certified Java professionals who have gone on to achieve the Java Developer certification.
There was a problem in the database putting the parts together to calculate your certification. That has been fixed.
Your certificate has been qued for shipping. Look for a certificate in the mail in about 2 weeks. Thank you for all your efforts with this certification, and good luck.
Thanks,
Gary

I had emailed my submission jar manually to developer-submit_US@oracle.com on March 31, sat for the test on April 9, and Sun/Oracle manually emailed me today (May 4) by replying to that original mail message. I hope this information helps others waiting for their certification results.

Thank you to everyone here, by the way. This forum was extremely helpful on my SCJD journey.
