Worried about Devaka's Diagnostic exam score

[Ruben Soto]

I just started today with Devaka's exams, and just finished the Diagnostic exam. I only got a disappointingly low 73% score on it. Strangely enough I didn't feel too bad while I was doing it, so obviously I overlooked some things.

I thought I was ready for the SCJP exam, but I'm not so sure now...

Is Devaka's Diagnostic exam easier/harder than the other Devaka Examlabs exams (1, 2, 3, and Final)?

By the way, the exam engine in Devaka is great.

This make me laugh
(Note: 73% is a really high score on his exam)

I guess everything is relative. But 73% means that I missed 19 questions out of 72. That's a lot of questions to miss. When I reviewed my answers I saw most of them were really tricky (like a syntax error buried in lots of code, and other things I wasn't expecting, like operator precedence stuff.)

I gave the Diagnostic and Final exam of Examlab and my scores were 79% and 61% respectively so I think your score is good

Thanks, Ankit. I guess that the best way to describe the difficulty of Devaka is to look at your scores and the score you got at the actual exam.

Thank you, Vamsi! I am trying not to worry, and hopefully the exam doesn't have too many tricky questions.
