hi all,
thanks for ur 'congrats'!
i'm to look into developers exam material and if i find it interesting i'd go for that. but i 'm not sure. currently looking for full time job after the graduation ( i graduated. did MS in CS). market still seems tough for freshers and specially F-1 visas like me.
hey, mark i will be looking at posts on this forum which gave me immense support and excellent environment to work. i like the forum. ppl love to learn/help regardless of geographical location, race etc etc... all kind of persons r wellcomed by the forum (from most advanced to most beginners). i thank all the administrators who does really a great job taking time outof their busy working schedule and try to provide as much as they can. i do job, so i know how much willingness and dedication it takes to do something they r doing along with the job and all sorts of other crap.
sonir, i guess it would not make much diff if i talk about what kind of questions i get. 'coz u it would b useless as all of the ppl might have diff scenarios and questions. but i would recomment do follow following things (which i was lacking till the day before
) and things which has got me thru every other exam so far with good scores,
1. maintain ur calm.
2. read qeustions and all the answers carefully.
(nobdoy is gonna give u a price if u finish in 1/2 hr or 15 mins or 1/2 hr earlier). if u can use 2 hrs and score 98% thats better than to finish it off in 1.5 hrs with 88%. they give time to THINK. not to SAVE
3. b confident like HELL (even if u don know ANYTHING!!) (well, thats how i work)
i'd say, in any exam the formula is,
60% confidence + 40% ur knowledge.
(i've tried it and it has worked for me most the times but u cant, of course, go without preparation at all
)
4. develop OUT-OF-BOX thinking (this might b hard for u to understand i believe
) which helps u in figuring out UR OWN errors that were not due to the reason that "u dont know the correct ans" but due to the reason that "u overlooked some scenario under pressure which u generally would not have done if had been more relaxed"
solve the q once carefully. forgert it. take it up back with fresh mind after A SECOND or TWO. u 'll know if u did foolish mistake.
5.
boost ur confidence the day before the exam doing things u love. just forget every
Java COde on the world! (that 'll help in point 4 as well).
(i listened to songs i like for 2 hrs the night before and did nothing after that regarding java).
well, some of this tips have appeared in earlier posts also and so u might have got SICK of it but it helps if somebody let u rember things again and again. those gets WOVEN to u (if u know what i mean).
thats all for now i guess. good luck to u guys.
regards
maulin.
