Oh yeah! I am finally SCJP 6 certified!

I must admit I've been lurking around JavaRanch the past month without much participation but I'm glad I've done so. It helped me clear a lot of doubts. I used the K&B book for SCJP5 - which was invaluable. I also did a lot of free mock exams (Inquisition was great) to help solidify the concepts.

I studied the SCJP6 topics - Console, NavigableMap and NavigableSet, using the API. But I found that this was unnecessary. There was not even a single question on these topics in my exam! Wierd, huh?!

Taking the exam was a bit of a torture mainly because the A/C wasn't working at the test center and it was stuffy as hell! I managed to finish the exam in 2.5 hours and I really felt like leaving then. But I'm glad I revised the answers during the last 1 hour. I must have corrected at least 5 answers during that time.

Next step - SCWCD!
