What is the difference between the SCJP mock exams and the SCJP self study training at whizlabs?
I can't figure out what they even are! are they plain pdf files? some interactive program? If so what platforms do they run on?
Mock exams are 50$ and self study are 100$. The instructor led online course is also 100$...

Basically, i would be eternally grateful if somebody could share their experience! bWhich do you suggest? 100$ is about the max i want to spend in any case!
Thanks!

Alexander why are you posting the same thing again and again. This is the third topic that you've created for the same thing. Please refrain yourself from such practices on javaranch...

I am really really sorry.
I have a bad internet connection and hit reload a bunch of times.
Sincere apologies.

Your second topic was created 7 minutes after the first topic, and this one 33 minutes after the second topic, so I thought that it was not a problem of double posting (the reload thing that you mentioned).

Anyways, welcome to javaranch. I didn't use Whizlabs so I can't answer you, but you'll have to wait for someone who has used whizlabs to answer you. Whizlabs itself has a help desk kind of a thing, you can ask them about this. I know its their product so their opinion will be biased but you'll get a general idea about what the self study and instructor led training is...

again, sorry about the posting. My screen stays white sometimes and stops loading, so I leave, come back and hit reload. In any case thanks for the advice (I should have gathered that sending the form data again posts a new thread though). They have a chat info service and here is what I gathered.

The next online course starts first week of march.

The difference between the self study and the mock exams is that the self study comes with some ppt slides with recorded audio.

I think i'll stick to the book for now (Mughal, Rasmussen), and later buy the mock exam. Doubt the ppt's are worth it.
thanks!

The Khalid Mughal book is good, you may also try the Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates book, both are very good for SCJP preparation. Also you may want to checkout ScjpMockTests, it contains a list of free and commercial mock exams...

Wow!
the ScjpMockTests is pretty cool. Thanks Ankit! I'll post my experiences in a few weeks, after I finish studying and have taken some tests!
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
