Hi ranchers Please help me i am in confusion of whether i should specify my SCJP score on my resume or not. I got 98% in SCJP but one of my senior told me that interviewers ask very-2 tough questions after seeing this much high percentage. So I want to ask you is that ok if I will not specify my score on my Resume or should i specify. Please help me with this confusion. I am very less confident person so thinking these type of things...

Yes. If you mention SCJP, you may get harder questions. And yes, if you mention a high score, you may get harder questions still..... but isn't that the whole point???

You need to prove your chops during the interview. Prove that you know your stuff. If all you answer are easy questions, then what would be the point -- you will be remembered as the person who answered a bunch of softball questions.
