Hello everyone.

I took SCJP 6 this morning and passed with 93 %.Very happy with the result.
I want to thank Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates for their great book,i didn't read it twice or more,just one time but i took a LOT of notes.
Also so many thanks to the ranchers and especially those who answered my questions,i want to personally thank :

Abimaran Kugathasan

and

Dieter Quickfend




The questions were surprisingly manageable,i also has 4 questions about classPath so don't neglect this topic.

I practiced on Examlab,i know why so many people tell me it's a great tool now.You will suffer at first with disastrous scores but don't abandon and the real exam will seem easy to you.Certpal and ExamLab are also great free tools for preparation.

I want to go for SCWCD but i heard it will be updated soon by oracle.
Should i wait ?

Aw, you one-upped me! Congrats Mehdi! And thanks for the mention =)

I think I'll be going for SCWCD next as well... Update doesn't matter I think, I won't be dissatisfied with SCWCD5.0... but when I get the time to go for it, it'll probably have already changed anyway.

Thanks Dieter,congratulation for your success.
Do you know when they'll update the exam ? I'm planning on taking SCWCD in January.
I want to start preparing for it now but i don't know which books/tools i should use.

Well, I ordered Head First JSP&Servlets by Bert Bates, which is supposed to be THE book on SCWCD (which I don't doubt, having read SCJP Study Guide), and I also ordered the SCWCD Study Guide by David Bridgewater. There are a few more you could check, but the SCWCDLinks thing looks really good, definitely going to check the notes they mention as well.

I ordered HFJS too,i'll take SCWCD to benefit from the SAI discount.
But you didn't answer me,do you know we they're going to update the exam ?
