I got my score a couple weeks ago, I was in shock when I saw it:
The maximum number of points you could have received is 100, minimum to pass is 70. Class Diagram (44 maximum) .......................... 22 Component Diagram (44 maximum) ...................... 26 Sequence/Collaboration Diagrams (12 maximum) ........ 12
How can I fail this exam! I have been working with
J2EE for over 3 yrs, have done a lot of projects and make a comfortable living for that. I tried to contact SUN for details but got no response. I think the reasons might be:
1. I under estimated the project. I used a lightweight command
pattern for the front controller, socket connection to re-use the Frequent-Flyer System, Entity Beans for all domain object, DAO and value objects. Couldn't figure out if my object design is wrong, how come they gave me a perfect score on sequence diagram.
2. Poor explaination. I only have one page assumtion to list the design patterns I use and the links to all diagrams.
3. The grader didn't like my design.
Now should I re-submit it?
Max.
