I am pretty sure Sun won't make a patterns-specific exam, although there are a few questions related to patterns on SCWCD and SCEA. Knowing how patterns help design can also help your understanding on SCBCD.

Tks boss. I am at present preparing for SCWCD (shall be clearing by the end of this month). Subsequently, I am planning SCBCD / SCMAD. Can u suggest me which one I can go for first. Is SCBCD really worth doing (for professional reqmt. ??

I see more use for SCBCD than SCMAD, but SCBCD is not as fun.

I recommend the IBM 486 OOAD/UML if you don't mind shifting away from a Sun-specific cert track.

What is the market requirement? I'm not sure what kind of an answer you are asking for.

Hi,
IBM 486 test the patterns as well.
