hi all,
Im happy to say that i cleared
SCJP 1.4 exam with 91%. Reg my preparation for this exam, first i started with
Java Complete Reference, which is a good book for a guy who doesn't know much abt Java/OOPS. Then after completing the first part of that book, i continued with Complete Certification Study Guide by R&H. This book is very helpful in exam point of view. Then at last, after covering all the concepts i started taking mock exams, which are given JavaRanch Mock Exams list.
In Mock exams , Marcus Green exams are almost at the same level as the real exam , and people say that the score what u get in this exam is close to ur actual score (and it happened with me!). Next, Khalid Mughal exams at this link
http://www.danchisholm.net/dec20/guide/index.html are tough but we can learn a lot of concepts. I used these set of exams as a learning tool rather than a
testing tool.
On the whole it a great learning experience for me.
