Hi all
I'm one of the old members of javaranch. This morning I've passed the scwcd exam with 76%. Though I started my preparations as early as in May 06, I seriously spent only around 3 weeks in total. The notes/books I used are Head First, SCWCD by Hanumant and Lyon's security chapter.
I scored low because I did not memorize(deliberately!)any specs I just understood all the concepts and went for the exam.
I got some very easy questions from security, deployment(few about
ejb),
patterns and some time consuming questions from EL & custom tags. No questions from dynamic attributes, although I was waiting for it.
My suggestions to fellow aspirants:
- Thoroughly understand the concepts. HF can help.
- Memorize the specs if you are aiming for good score.
& practice
- Lots of
JSP's.
I will be going for
SCEA next. Well and sure I'll aim for good score here.
Thank you Javaranch.
