Hi shivdhwaj welcome to JavaRanch.

SCJP 1.4 is old, you can't give SCJP 1.4 anymore :-)

The latest version of the certification is SCJP 6. The certificate once you've cleared it doesn't expire. You can find a lot of useful information in the ScjpFaq...

Hello, shivdhwaj pandey. Welcome to JavaRanch.

Why are you insterested in OCJP 1.4 (it is starting with O now not with S)? We already have some beta for 1.7.

Hi shivdhwaj.

I don't think you can go for a 1.4 SCJP certification. Currently you can try for a 1.5 or 1.6 (Also called 5.0 and 6.0) certification.

You can obtain further information on the Oracle Web Site: Oracle Certified Professional Java Programmer

Ankit Garg,Hebert Coelho,Randy Hernandez
thank you
so tell me how to get up for the prep for it i am doing mca
and what version should i choose

[shivdhwaj pandey]

can any one say me

[Javin Paul]

Choose the latest version and if not choose 1.6 because in technology space its better to keep yourself updated. as you are doing MCA I am not sure how much programming you are doing but its always good idea to write small program to test various java feature and play with them along side theory and mock exam

Hi again Shivdhwaj Pandey

Many roads lead to the Java SE 6 Programmer Certification. It all depends on your way of learning, the money and the time you have to spend to study for the exam. For me, the best way (and the fastest) is to buy a good book (K&B for example), however, there are heaps of fantastic resources available on google (search for java mock exams).

Also, make sure you know the objectives of the exam (from the oracle site) and cover them all, this is very important.

Finally, practice a lot and do not hesitate to ask a question in the Java forums if you don’t understand something.
