I passed SCJP2 today. Scored 72%.
The paper was rather difficult. With my 100% preparation still the paper I received was tought and yes the code is lengthier, more on threads (synchronisation), more on fundamentals, arrays, collection, understand String and Stringbuffer well. Dont just assume you know it. One question on gridbaglayout. Prepare for all this verywell. Dont forget IO. And yes, do look at the objectives specified by Sun on their site. ALL the questions covered the objectives only. And you do run out of time. You dont get time to revise ALL the questions. Stay cool. Dont panic. I think unfortunately i got a tough paper. But at the same time because of my thorough study I made it. And I am happy I made it.
I can not thank JavaRanch enough. Since last month I was a regular on JavaRanch and I dont think without the forum I would have made it. Thank you Ajith, Maha and all there at JavaRanch. Thank you very much.
Please somebody tellme what should be done next. This is a request. What should be done next? Developer? Architect? Oracle? JSP? EJB? CORBA? please tell me.
is it not happening that the child class is trying to override a method with more restricton? some of the basic rules? or am i wrong?
Aruna i think you are overridng in the child class with a more restriction. You can override a protected with proteced or public. but not private or default.

Are the questions in exam do follow Exam Objectives specified at Sun's site? like, in sun objectives, it is clearly written that for .lang package, questions will be from .Math and String class only. Does this mean we are supposed to study these classs only for .lang package? Also the objectives clearly says, for .util package, the questions will be only to select the proper collection class/interface given the crieteria. it does not say coding will bethere on collection. How seriously one should take these objectives?
Uma and Ann. Sent you the JLS2 Word Format also.
Uday and Mohit. Dispatched your JLS2 word format.
Shailesh and Raghvendra, I have sent you the mails with attached file of JLS2 word format.
I have JLS second edition in Printable Word format. Just in case if you are interested.
Respected GVS,
Personally when I myself first read your question on list regarding RHE, my interpretation was "WHAT THIS DUMBEST RHE STANDS FOR?" As you know we all love this RHE book and I did not like the way it was asked. I think the question was not framed properly and the whole chain started. It must have disturbed many who read and then replied.
I invite you to continue with this forum and enrich with the depth you posses. And ask all you want to on Java. The forum does have a lot of experienced Java professionals. Ofcourse learning is a never ending process and all learn by asking and explaining.
It will be very nice for many young software aspirants if you share your thoughts with us. You do have what it takes to be proud of.
- Regards.
I will appreciate and it will be helpful to all if i get some more concise compiled lists for scjp
Raghevandra,
the question is on downloading JLS.
Rahul's link is on online viewing of JLS.
My link ACTUALLY works for downloading.
This is a Java discussion forum and to be more precise, remember that this is a forum in JavaRanch Saloon Certification area of SCJP. not even general Java. There are VARIOUS other forums for ALL sorts of JAVA discussion. This one is related to SCJP exam.
Please remove this topic from list once and for all. What is this going on? The mistake was question "Dumbest referred to RHE". It was not asked properly by GVS.
Remember this topic has a fire in the main list and all the new visitors visit this topic and what do they think of this genuinely technical site? Is this what we want to show to the world? Many will not register looking at this first of its kind conversion of this topic.
There has been enough of debate and I request the moderators to remove this topic once and for all.

Thanks Pete. The correction has been made regarding the "static overriding" error.
"A compile-time error occurs if an instance method attempts to override a static method."
Thanks everybody. It was really nice to see such a good response.

Hello Everyone. In the process of my studying for SCJP, I compiled these FEW rules from JLS (Java rules bible). Published here for the benefit of all SCJP candidates. Print and Study them. Will be useful definately. If you have compiled such a list from authenticate source , please let me know. It makes learning easy. I have ommitted few simple rules from here like the expression of if statement must be boolean type.
�A compile-time error occurs if a class has the same simple name as any of its enclosing classes or interfaces.
�A compile-time error occurs if the same modifier appears more than once in a class declaration.
�If a class that is not abstract contains an abstract method, then a compile-time error occurs.
�A compile-time error occurs if an attempt is made to create an instance of an abstract class using a class instance creation expression
�A compile-time error occurs if the name of a final class appears in the extends clause of another class declaration; this implies that a final class cannot have any subclasses.
�A compile-time error occurs if a class is declared both final and abstract, because the implementation of such a class could never be completed.
�Because a final class never has any subclasses, the methods of a final class are never overridden
�It is a compile-time error if a class depends on itself.
�A compile-time error occurs if the same interface is mentioned two or more times in a single implements clause.
�It is a compile-time error for the body of a class declaration to declare two fields with the same name.
�A compile-time error occurs if the same modifier appears more than once in a field declaration, or if a field declaration has more than one of the access modifiers public, protected, and private.
�It is a compile-time error if a blank final class variable is not definitely assigned by a static initializer of the class in which it is declared.
�A blank final instance variable must be definitely assigned at the end of every constructor of the class in which it is declared; otherwise a compile-time error occurs.
�A compile-time error occurs if a final variable is also declared volatile.
�It is a compile-time error for the body of a class to have as members two methods with the same signature.
�If two formal parameters of the same method or constructor are declared to have the same name (that is, their declarations mention the same Identifier), then a compile-time error occurs.
�A compile-time error occurs if the same modifier appears more than once in a method declaration, or if a method declaration has more than one of the access modifiers public, protected, and private.
�A compile-time error occurs if a method declaration that contains the keyword abstract also contains any one of the keywords private, static, final, native, strictfp, or synchronized.
�A compile-time error occurs if a method declaration that contains the keyword native also contains strictfp.
�It is a compile-time error for a private method to be declared abstract.
�It is a compile-time error for a static method to be declared abstract.
�It is a compile-time error for a final method to be declared abstract.
�It is a compile-time error to attempt to override or hide a final method.
�It is a compile-time error for a final method to be declared abstract.
�A compile-time error occurs if a native method is declared abstract.
�A compile-time error occurs if any ClassType mentioned in a throws clause is not the class Throwable or a subclass of Throwable. It is permitted but not required to mention other (unchecked) exceptions in a throws clause.
�A compile-time error occurs if a method declaration is either abstract or native and has a block for its body.
�A compile-time error occurs if a method declaration is neither abstract nor native and has a semicolon for its body.
�If a method is declared void, then its body must not contain any return statement that has an Expression.
�A compile-time error occurs if an instance method attempts to override a static method.
�A compile-time error occurs if a static method hides an instance method.
�If a method declaration overrides or hides the declaration of another method, then a compile-time error occurs if they have different return types or if one has a return type and the other is void. Moreover, a method declaration must not have a throws clause that conflicts with that of any method that it overrides or hides; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.
�If the overridden or hidden method is public, then the overriding or hiding method must be public; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.
�If the overridden or hidden method is protected, then the overriding or hiding method must be protected or public; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.
�If the overridden or hidden method has default (package) access, then the overriding or hiding method must not be private; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.
�If a return statement appears anywhere within a static initializer, then a compile-time error occurs.
�If the keyword this or the keyword super appears anywhere within a static initializer, then a compile-time error occurs.
�A class may not declare two constructors with the same signature, or a compile-time error occurs.
�It is a compile-time error for a constructor to directly or indirectly invoke itself through a series of one or more explicit constructor invocations involving this.
�A compile-time error occurs if a default constructor is provided by the compiler but the superclass does not have an accessible constructor that takes no arguments.
�a method declared in an interface must not be declared final or a compile-time error occurs. However, a method declared in an interface may be implemented by a method that is declared final in a class that implements the interface.
�A component of an array is accessed by an array access expression that consists of an expression whose value is an array reference followed by an indexing expression enclosed by [ and ], as in A[i]. All arrays are 0-origin. An array with length n can be indexed by the integers 0 to n-1.
�Arrays must be indexed by int values; short, byte, or char values may also be used as index values because they are subjected to unary numeric promotion and become int values. An attempt to access an array component with a long index value results in a compile-time error.
�The type of the Switch Expression must be char, byte, short, or int, or a compile-time error occurs.
�Every case constant expression associated with a switch statement must be assignable to the type of the switch Expression.
�No two of the case constant expressions associated with a switch statement may have the same value.
�Only one default label may be associated with the same switch statement.
�If a break statement is not enclosed by a switch, while, do, or for statement , a compile-time error occurs.
�If no labeled statement with Identifier as its label encloses the break statement, a compile-time error occurs.
�If a continue statement is not enclosed by a while, do, or for statement , a compile-time error occurs.
�If no labeled statement with Identifier as its label encloses the continue statement, a compile-time error occurs.
�A continue statement with label Identifier attempts to transfer control to the enclosing labeled statement that has the same Identifier as its label; that statement, which is called the continue target, then immediately ends the current iteration and begins a new one. The continue target must be a while, do, or for statement or a compile-time error occurs.
�If a label of continue statement is not assigned to while, do, or for statement, a compile-time error occurs.
�A compile-time error occurs if a return statement appears within an instance initializer or a static initializer.
�A return statement with an Expression must be contained in a method declaration that is declared to return a value (�8.4) or a compile-time error occurs. The Expression must denote a variable or value of some type T, or a compile-time error occurs. The type T must be assignable (�5.2) to the declared result type of the method, or a compile-time error occurs.
�It is a compile-time error if a statement cannot be executed because it is unreachable.
�The keyword this may be used only in the body of an instance method, instance initializer or constructor, or in the initializer of an instance variable of a class. If it appears anywhere else, a compile-time error occurs.

Your worries are understandable. Increase in fees by more than double and than joining classes. The total might go easily around 22-25 atleast. If you know programing and OOP I will not recommended joining classes. Read what you have plus JLS (MUST), Java book by Patrick Norton, Java Certification Guide by Robert and Heller. I think it is not difficult if you concentrate enough. Infact its easy if you can concentrate. All the best.
