passed SCJP2 with 88%

[Shakeel Mohamed]

hi folks,
got thru the exam with 88% score. i had an overload of "Overloading" questions and a string of "String" questions.
i am basically a marketing guy who has spent more than 7 years marketing consumer goods. its only an year back that i made a mid-career shift into the IT industry. i am into CRM implementation. i started programming in java about 6 months back and fell in love with this language. it took me about 2 months of preparation(part-time) to get ready for the certification.
moral of the story: if i could do it, you too can!
u folks at this site deserve a big thanx for putting up such a great site. the knowledge base of the people participating in the discussions here has contributed more to my success than any books or mocks could.
once again lets hear it for all ye nice fellas out there. cheers!
bye
