Cleared SCEA Part 1 with 93%

[veena madhukar]

I cleared SCEA Part 1 today (march 20th) with 93%. I would really like to thank this forum as this has been of great help to me.

Following are the books I used for the exam :

1> Sun Certified Enterprise Architect for J2EE by Paul Allen and Joseph Bambara
2> Sun Certified Enterprise Architect for J2EE Technology Study Guide by Mark Cade, Simon Roberts
3> Enterprise JavaBeans by Richard Monson-Haefel
4> UML Distilled by Martin Fowler
5> Design Patterns by Erich Gamma

I also did free mock exams available on the net:

http://www.moelholm.com/
http://www.harishramchandani.com/
http://www.whizlabs.com/scea/scea.html

I had bought arc2Patterns, but I would not recommend that at all. It is not updated after 2003. many answers are wrong. I was quite disappointed with that. Infact many free mock exams are much better than that.

I referred many of the following notes:
