I got 79%. Although I usually got between 80% and 90% on the various practice exams, the real
test FELT much harder. In particular, the sections on for loops and threads were very challenging. Examples:
There were some questions where two variables were incremented and or decremented in the loop, there was a break statement that might execute based on a comparison of the variables plus the while condition was also based on a comparison of the variables. The question would want to know the values of the variables at the end. I found these quite hard and of course the only thing to do is run a simulation in your head and on paper.
There were several questions where two threads one after another are created from within the same "main" method of a "Runnable" class. I found these very tricky but I got 100% on the
Thread section, so I guess I must have figured them out ok.
I did very poorly on the IO and AWT sections. The questions required me to know the exact constructors, which I did not.
Overall very challenging, and it felt very discouraging while I was doing it so when I realized I got a 79% I actually felt relieved.
While it's still fresh in my mind, feel free to fire some questions at me.
