Hi Shiraz,
Sun is currently looking into the idea of changing the format of the exam to adaptive. They haven't announced their decision; at least not formally.
They have promised to provide 6 months notice if they do decide to change the format. Not sure if people will be required to re-certify although I'm sure they'll make that clear if it is necessary.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
Have you looked at java.sun.com? Sun has a tutorial covering most, if not all, java topics. Also, check out places like www.informit.com, www.devx.com, and most any site linked to the java.sun web site. Try search engines like google, ask, about, and any one that you normally use to search for information.

Does JCreator (trial version) allow step-through debugging? And how large is the file unzipped?
Just wondering what IDE I should use. Seems textpad might not be enough....

If you got it right, then you get a harder question. If wrong, and easier question. The determines what your level of competency is in each area.
So if you answer correctly the hardest question in that category, then it moves to the next category.
So the result is that once the adaptive test determines that you are going to pass the test, the test ends. So the test can be shorter.
