I passed the SCP exam today!!! It was a near thing as I just cleared 64%, so I passed by only 2 questions. I don't care - I'm still dead chuffed!!!

My exam was chock-a-block with code analysis and there were a lot of IO questions. No short answer questions though. Tip for nervous candidates: - the program will flag any incomplete questions so don't worry about only checking 1 answer when
you should have checked 3 (wish I'd known this!).
I wish I'd spent a lot more time practicing code but can't be helped. I had absolutely *no* prior
Java experience and relied entirely on Mughal & Rasmussen's PGJC and Roberts & Heller's CJ2CSG. (Ad plug: buy both and support your friendly local Java Ranch!) Proves you *can* pass even if you're not a computer whizz kid.
