these days I have done a lot of tests,some tests
include a lot of questions about awt,io. I am very afraid of these questions,who can tell me how many questions are about awt or io in real exam?

there are enough question to lower ur percentage.
I got 5-6 on IO and 4-5 on AWT
but not to worry ... AWT and IO are easy .... like u I was also very much afraid with these topics... but once u start then every thing become clear.
Read only what is written in Certification objective. u can get certi objective at sun site.
For IO first just try to remember hierarchy of InputStream and Reader. O/p and writer is almost same. Then some methods... things will be clear..
For AWT .. u should know all the events and there interfaces and there adapter classes they are just 10-11(and all are almost same..)
For IO I have one MS-doc file but I can not post fiiles here .... just ctrl+A , ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

Points about I/O Constructors
1.If Class is ArrayStream (ByteArrayInputStream, CharArrayReader):
�If it is i/p stream then one of constructors will take array of it�s name i.e byte[]/ char[] as argument.
�If it is o/p stream then no argument construction is there.
�For I/p stream Second constr. takes array and �int size� as other argument for buffering .
�For O/p Second constr. takes �int size� as arguments for buffering.
2.FilterInputStream constr�s take InputStream (i.e. any class from i/p classes) as arguments.
3.There are 4 derived classes from FilterInputStream :
1.DataInputStream
2.LineNumberInputStream (Not available for O/p )
3.BufferedInputStream
4.PushbackInputStream (NA for o/p)
Last two has two constr, other takes �int size� as second argument.(first is �InputStream in�) Holds true for o/p classes.
O/p class has one more class derived from FilterOutputStream
�PrintStream : It has one constr as �OutputStream out� and second constr takes second param as �boolean autoFlush�.
4.ObjectStream has TWO constr. First does not take any argument . Second takes
I/OStream(InputStream/ OutputStream) as argument.
5.PipedStream classes has two constr:
�First does not take any argument
�Second take PipedOtherStream, i.e PipedInputSteam(PipedOutputStream src) and PipedOutputStream(PipedInputStream )
6.FileI/OStreamClasses has 3 constrs, first take �File file� as param, Second take �String filePath�, Third take �FileDescriptor fbObj�.
For FileOutputStream there is one more constr, it takes TWO params, one is �String name�, and other is �boolean append �.
7.StringBuffer class has been deprecated.
8.SequenceI/OStream has two constr, First takes �Enumeration e� and other takes TWO params �InputStream s1, InputStream s2�

Reader/Writer Constructors
1.BufferedR/W has two constructors, First has one param as �Reader/Writer in/out�, SECOND has one more param as �int size� for buffer size.
2.LineNumberReader (No Writer) is derived from BufferedReader has TWO constr as BufferedReader has.
3.CharArrayReader has two consts one has char[] buf,(Writer does not has any param) and other has three param
char[] buf , int offset, int length (Writer has only one param int initialSize).
4.FilterReader has Reader in and FilterWriter has Writer out param for constr.
5.PushbackReader (NO Writer, is like PushbackInputStream) has two contrs. One has single param Reader in , and other has TWO param Reader in, int size.
6.InputStreamReader/Write has two constr. First take its stream(as name suggests) as param ie. InputStearm in. Second take two param InputStream in , String enc.
7.PipedReader/Writer has two constr. First with NO param and second with opposite pipedStream ie. PipedReader(PipedWriter src) and PipedWriter(PipedReader snk).
8.StringReader has one constr with String s as param. StringWriter has two constr. one with NO param, other has StringWriter(int initialSize).
9.Writer has one more class PrintWriter. It has four constr, in two groups, One group has OutputStream out, other has Writer out as param. One constr takes single param out, and other has one more param boolean autoFlush.
10.FileReader/Writer is same as FileI/OStream.

I do not know how much it will be helpful u too...
AW All the best ..
