Hi georgy,Patrick and Liyaquat best of luck for your exams
One small advice from my end is that during the exam keep yourself cool as there will be ample time for you guys to crack the questions
and regarding last minute cramming, just revise what you have read till now
and be relaxed
Once again all the best for all of you

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted

but you mean to say its 68 only right?
yes and this is according to my understanding may be someone else can tell you more about how exactly it works. Probably Bert may be the right person to answer your query as he would be knowing the nitty gritty details which you are curious to know.

Anyways... I may not be able to score 69/69, but just wanted to know how it turns out to be

Go for it. There is nothing wrong in aiming at it

Best of luck for your exams

Hi vishwas

Then how to get 100% ??? Should I get 70/70?

You have to get 69/69 to get a 100% as i posted before that one question
sun will not consider while calculating your score. So they don't care
as to you got that question right or wrong :roll:

If i am not wrong, during the start of the exam where they say about this question(the one which is not considered for calculating the score), the simulator says that this question is a kind of a survey.
Even i am not very sure why they want it to do the way they
are doing it

Even in the head first book, somewhere in the initial pages of the book, the book says you might get either 69 or 70 questions. Please check it if you have the book.

Everyone who takes the exam will not get 70 questions, few may get 69 as well and few other may get 70 as well. Hope i am clear this time.

Hi praveen congrats good score

i would suggest take the HFSJ mock exam 2 days before the real exam, then read through all the chapters which you went wrong

I agree with you on this. Most of us need sometime to do a post mortem

Hi mayank

congrats on clearing the exam
I would like to add a few comments to your post

SCJP guys, its less of concept here and more of api's

I don't think this is correct completely as vishnu suggested. In fact
i think the opposite is true. In the new version of the exam(scwcd1.4) the emphasis is more on concept than api. Though you could get a few questions on the api, the exam will be a test of more or less understanding of your concepts.

Now the other side of book, All the parts related to word "TAG" are confusing. I read this book 3 times to understand them. If any author is here, plz work a little bit more on these parts

This is one section of the exam which needs a fair bit practice on your computer. The other section being EL. Though the book covers what is needed for the exam, one needs to practice to understand these concepts well.


I got 70 questions in all ! Still a surprise for me

If you have observed during the begining of your exam it is clearly stated that only 69 questions will be taken into account when you are given a score
and that one question will not affect your score. But it won't tell you which is that one question which will not be considered for giving you the score.
