Thank you a lot Nagendra,Mikalai,Wise
Wise,I guess the only missing part in XYZ study guide is the uncovered objectives that I have mentioned before,Once they get covered I guess your study guide will be complete and comprehensive,specially i liked the way the current Objectives are presented.this guide addresses exam objectives and at the same time ,it teaches everything from the begining in a quick start and then goes up in a very smooth way.so,Well Done
as for the mock exams,they are wonderful already.and the best thing is the detailed explainations.
Best wishes,

Dear friends,
I have passed SCDJWS with 78%,not great score I know ,but I had to make this certification in limited time,here it is what happened:

1-I have worked with JAX-RPC,uddi APIs,wsdl for 2 months last year
2-it took 2 days to read quickly MZ guide ,to get an overview of what I expect at exam.
3-it took 3.5 days to read carefully the study guide of xyz,and to solve their mock exams,and study chapters 7,9,10,11,WS-Security and the Liberty Project in chapter 8,DOM and Trax parts too from MZ guide(not in XYZ study guide)

XYZ study guide and mock exams were extremely helpful.
MZ guide was very helpful in the other chapters.
also java ranch is wonderful to learn from others experience.

Thank you all.

Dear All,
I would like to know what are the parts that have many questions in SCDJWS?

Hi Rizwan,
thanks for your reply,
I have just checked with SUN,and they told me that the first exam must be taken before 15 August 2006,otherwise it will be a normal voucher that is valid for 1 exam...

Dear All,
I have purchased sun voucher(retake offer).
i have some questions:
1- do we have to take the original exam before 15/8/2006?
2- the expiry date of the voucher ends 30/6/2007,so does it mean that the retake offer is not valid on it?
3- how do i grantee that i will take the retake exam,as i have only 1 voucher?
thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance

Hello Joyce,
Thanks so much for ur reply
and Congracts on ur success
I have worked with J2ME in my graduation project,so I know great deal about J2ME,so it is somehow confusing to me because,I don't know from where shall I begin
also when I tried the whizlabs trial version,I have noticed that there r questions that depend on memorization,so is there such questions in the real exam ?!! or it just depend on real experience?
Thanks again

Thank u Rohit,Mikalai,Sandeeep,Tamara for ur encouragement
My Special Thanks to Bert,and if u and Kathy ever come Egypt ,I will be glad to give u a ride to the Pyramids

Dear Friends,
r K&B book questions and master exam enough practice for the SCJP 5.0?
I have just gone through the trial version of whizlabs exam,it was somehow tough,for example it have a question on Parsing,where it need u to memorize the methods of scanner(which not all of them r mentioned in the book).
also does the exam need that kind of memorization?
Thanks in advance,
