scjp certification is worth in longrun ?

Everyone study well till exam but after sometime we forget that all detailed knowledge so how it has value in longrun ???

Hi Nitesh,

It generally happens when one studies only using dumps, or does less hands-on, or gets out of touch.

The more hands-on we do, less is the chance to forget what we study.

Btw, the question is confusing - if a candidate forgets what he/she has studied for exam during long run then it's that candidate's problem, and it has got nothing to do with worth of certification.

I hope this helps.

thank you Anayonkar Shivalkar. how you were in touch with scjp when you were preparing for scwcd ?

I do work in Core Java, so even today I'm in touch

Now, since my daily work is not in servlet/jsp, I'm not in touch with it; but its fine. Since I did understood almost everything during SCWCD preparation, it won't take more than 2 weeks to get back in touch

thank you .how many months are enough for scjp preparation ? thank you in advance.

There have been a lot of discussions about it in the past, please SearchFirst

That depends. If you are already working in Java, or know Java, then try solving some sample questions and you'll come to know the areas in which you need more/less preparation.

If you are complete newbie, start with OO concepts first. In such case, I guess 12-15 weeks should suffice. I was new to Java when I started SCJP preparation, and it took me around 6 weeks.
