I everybody, the new version for the cert examn of SCJP was released and now I don't know what to do: On one side I've been preparing my examn for some time and on the other I want a cert that gives more value as a Java Developer.

I have three options:
1. Take SCJP 1.4
2. Take SCJP 1.5
3. Take SCJP 1.4 and then upgrade to 1.5

What would be you recommendations? Thanks in advance.

For me, I prefer SCJP 1.5 if I am fresh.
1. The test has been out for quite some time.
2. If you want to take SCJD after that. You are definitely better to take SCJP 1.5 now, because you only can use J2SE 1.4 for your SCJD project before Mar 2006.

Hi Dongshan,

I don't know that (no. 2). Could you give URL, which Sun said something about that? Thanks.

It is base on "18 months" policy. Please refer to Topic: Andrew's Book.
