Phew! this was way too tough than I thought ! I mean, yeah you can never assume that
SCEA would be easy, but after going through several mock exams and Sun's own e-Practice exams, I became (over ?) confident. I am okay for just being able to pass, but this tells me that there are several loopholes in my knowledge.
Kinda feeling that I insulted Kathy and Bert & others (Head First Design
Patterns) and Mark Cade (SCEA study guide) with such a low score.
The questions were of really high quality and very precise, I must say.
Most of them were scenario based.
If one can answer most/all of them with real grasp of concepts behind them, then she/he IS an architect, no doubt.
May be I should have read GoF patterns also (scored very low in patterns)..but then there weren't too many questions on patterns.
Well, better passing with low score than not passing at all.
