Congratulations for telling us you failed. I would not have told anybody because I do not have the courage.
For a brief moment when I was doing the test I thought I would fail it too as the questions are not straightforward and the time is really not on your side.
I advice you to prepare as much as possible and even use harder questions then the normal exam level .
On this exam (listed on the JavaRanch mock exam list)
Mughal & Rasmussen's Mock Exam Engine
http://www.ii.uib.no/~khalid/pgjc/jcbook/engine.html for instance I could bearly score 57% a week before the exam . So to make shore you pass SCJP
you should try to pass this one.It is not that hard.
I wish you good luck and I hope you pass with a high score next time.
Better, faster, lighter Java ... you mean Ruby right ?
SCEA5,SCBCD1.3,SCWCD5,SCJP1.4 - memories from my youth.
