Took the
test this morning and passed it with 81. Thought I got higher but at least it�s over now. Wished that they could tell me which questions I answered incorrectly. But anyhow, I would like to thank everyone in Javaranch for offering their wealth of knowledge for others to share.
Here is some tidbit about the exam and how I prepared for it. The exam was fair and straight-forward. Some questions were tricky but none are mind-boggling. My
Java experience was little to none basically. It took me two months to do it. I read Java 2 Certification All-In-One Guide and Thinking In Java to prepare for this test. But let me tell you that reading is not enough. The biggest contribution to my success was JQ+. I got 40 something percent on the first try but I kept hacking at it until the percentage had looked more respectable (my highest mark for JQ+ was about 75%) JQ+ is pretty challenging to say the least. The main point is to use JQ+ as a learning tool. Of course, the best way to learn a programming language is to actually program. Just write some code out and see if it�ll run. Understand why it runs or why it may not run.
Okay, I hope this helps.
Thanks again.
