Hi ranchers,
Finally i also made it to the coveted SCJP2. have been procastinating it for a month or so now. highly relieved now.
luckily i could score full in threads and io. got bitten by overriding and overloading stuff due to loss in temprament at the exam center.
khalid is the best book for me as well. gave many free exams like jtips, javacaps and MUST marcus green exams. unnecessarily spent money in purchasing sun practice tests. But wisely spent money for J@Whiz, i think only because of this that i could score full in threads and io.
time was enough for the test but the center enviro was not quiet and i believe prometric ppl must ensure peaced to the candidate.
overall it was a nice experience and finally i am relieved and happy.
thank you guys for your help, this is indeed a best place for preparation and cont update.
best of luck to others

Thanks deep for your congs.
I am moving to J2EE certifications like XML, SCWCD. Still not able to decide which to go for first.
Yes i feel great value of scjp2. More than anything else it gives me confidence. Exam like this is highly worth it.
I hope other scjp's share my opinion.
regards
