question

HI everyone,
Can anyone help me clarify the question about exam version. I have prepared for 310-025 for about 3 weeks.
I have some question about exam:
I have heard that: Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform 1.4 (310-035) - Exam will be available in August 19, 2002.
Does that means that Java will stop offerring exam on SCJP 1.2 exam after August 19 ? Everyone who want SCJP certificate must take (310-035) instead of (310-025)?
Will Java still try to keep the difficulty level same for these 2 exam by adjusting passing rate?
Your time and help are very much appreciated!
Jenny

The 1.2 examination will still be available (for some time) after 19th August 2002.
I think you will find on your voucher that it says you can use it for any 310-XXX exam. So I guess you can transfer to 1.4 if you want.
Because the 1.4 examination drops I/O and AWT, it is expected that the remaining and extra topic (assertions) will be examined more thoroughly.

Both exams will be available after August 19. You can choose which one to take.
