Thanks guys.
Sunil, I have updated my signature.
For Karthik Rajashekaran
The best preparation book for beginners like me.Months of preparation required, mock papers. Undoubtedly, the best book is Head First
Servlets and
JSP by Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates and Bryan Basham for a learner at any level. If you devote regular well scheduled intervals to ur study for SCWCD1.4, then it should not take you more than 3.5 months (including all revisions, mocks, specs, and all sorts of conceptual implementations).
A good source that polishes your basics is

http://www.j2eecertificate.com/scwcd/control/examcenter . Just do a
freeregistration and you can take topicwise mock exam with satisfactory answers and a complete random mock exam.
You can got yourself registered at

Another url that contains helpful links is
https://coderanch.com/t/170315/java-Web-Component-SCWCD/certification/SCWCD-Exam-Tips Is it easier compare to SCJP??? Depends on what you are targetting at. If you just want to get certification - then its easier then SCJP1.4 but if you want to score well then you have to work really hard. Its bit difficult to score well because you have to memeorise many things and apply them when required as compared to SCJP1.4. But working hard for good results should not bother anyone who reaches saloon.javaranch.com.
Don't worry in any case as you have so many friends at java ranch who are always ready to support, assist and
boost your confidence up.
Please let me know your yahoo mail id so that i can chat with you through messenger. Sorry for denying this request as i am a working professional and chatting does not sound good while you are working. But you can send me mails for assistance and i will surely reply to them.
Just work with devotion and you will surely get good results. All the best for you preparation and certifcation.
Regards,
Lalit
