Hi Ranchers,
Today morning I have cleared
SCJP with 96% (57/59). Thanks to all of u. I am actually silent listener. All ur post regarding various problem as well as Exam related traps (and how to avoid them) are really very helpful. I would also like to thanks Val, Rob (for his well explained long posts), Maha Anna and Shivaji.
Valentin post always has quotes from JLS, which I think, is ultimate reference for
java. Though I have still not read it completely but now I am in a mood to finish it properly. Actually each line of it need proper attention as well needs a dedicated program for that very line. It is not mandatory to read this to clear paper but it will make ur java life smooth.
For examination purpose I would suggest KM as well as RHE but KM is definitely better that RHE. Some time u needs a good explanation and it delivers that. But I think it is weak in
Thread area but very strong in Inner class, Initializer, Gc, Util, operators and Oop’s .
Now JQ+, it is also very helpful, question similar to it appears in exam but with some unexpected changes. I got nearly 7-8 questions, which look alike as JQ+ questions but have certain changes, so look for that changes. Also it has many or I should say all the question of KM also and of which some are modified and made more clear.
In last few days I have also used trial version of Jwhiz and I find that it is more challenging than JQ+, so try this out in last week.
If any one needs any other suggestion regarding exam then do let me know.
Thanks again for all ur help
