Hello Isabel,
Although I haven't yet taken the certification, I still believe that what you need to know about the Wrapper classes is found in the java api documentation. As I could notice as far as it regards the topics, it should be enough for the certification purpose to know :
- which are the Wrapper classes (all the primitive type asscociated classes like Integer for int, Long for long, etc.)
- the constructors of this classes (for example: Float constructor can take as parameter also a double since Byte can take only a byte or a String)
- which of those classes have methods that return primitive values
- the equals() method
If I missed something please guys complete/correct me
Cheers

For wrapper classes, be familiar with the different constructors and methods and the types of arguments they can take. Also, you should remember that they instances of wrapper classes are immutable.
