Hi All,
I am preparing for SCJP 1.4 and already completed khalid mughul and whizlabs kit. I am scoring well in whizlab kit with average score of 80%. I am just browsing mock exams available on net and found Dan Chisholm mock test really tough and harder as compared to other mocks and is scoring only 60-70% in that.
Can anyone suggest if my preparation is ok w.r.t. things I covered. I am planning to give exam next week.

Yes, I have experience in java. I started with khalid book and did topic-wise test of whizlabs. After that, I appeared in for practice test and other online tests available. Still, I am not getting confidence for real exam as I am not able to cross 70-80% benchmark for either of test. Any whizlabs user please suggest if that is enough for preparation. Thanks,

I took four of Dan Chisholm's comprehensive tests. I got 62%, 55%, 48% and 59% on them. I think they are very hard and not representative of actual SCJP exam.

Today i gave SCJP 1.4 and cleared it with 90% marks. Overall, I found exam easier than mock exams. I studied Khalid Mughul and brought Whizlabs kit.After covering these, I went through mock exams mentioned in javaranch forum.I scored 10% more than what I used to score in whizlabs final/practice exams.
Now looking forward for SCWCD exam. Thanks to all for your support and help.

I am really confused between choosing next certification out of SCWCD or SCDJWS. I have good experience in Servlets/JSP, so my friends are suggesting me to go for SCDJWS (which will make my resume balanced) but I don�t know ABC of web services. What are the factors I should look into while giving certification. What is market trend and which is in more demand?
