Hi,
I would like to thank JavaRanch for the help they provided for me to pass the exam. Do the mock exams, and also do the Sun sample exam, they help a lot. You will see many similar questions on the exam.
The exam itself is not too hard, I didn't do well on Thread and Utililty though. Be careful on dead lock of thread, what stops thread, stuff like that. For Util, need to know the class hierarchy clearly, I didn't do well on that.
IO isn't too hard, constructors, how to chain stream onto each other (Filter stream, Buffer stream, etc.), also File, RandomAccessFile, what's the effect after using them, etc.
Inner class is a little tricky, need to know how to use constructor for anonymous inner class, actually if you remember all the characteristics for inner class, you should be fine.
AWT isn't hard, be careful on GridBagLayout though, you should know what this layout is for, and how it affects the positioning of components, read the JavaDoc on this class, that's pretty good.
All the rest isn't very hard. Wish you all good luck.
