Here is what i did :
I studied
Java at a great Institute in Delhi ...so my fundamentals were allready good. Since i had to complete my bachelors i lost in touch with java. So i had to brush up all the stuff.... i studied for 3 weeks in all. I used Khalid Mughal (used his updated notes on assertions from his website). It took me abt 2 weeks to complete the book. Then i started giving mock exams.....Marcus Green and Dan Chisholm. I used to perform well on Marcus's Exam but did badly on Dan's(abt 60%). Dan's exams are tough and really
test your knowledge. Marcus's exam is much closer to the real exam. But i suggest you study you definitely give the following mocks from Dan's exam - GC , Threads, Collections , Wrappers.
The exam was fairly easy...the toughest q's were on
Thread.
Anyways.....hit me up if you have any questions.
By the way...did i say RANCHERS RULE !!
