SCEA before SCBCD?

[Adrian Pang]

Hi,

I know there is no requirement that one must pass SCBCD before taking SCEA, but is it a good idea? Basically, I would like to take the SCEA as soon as possible, but I have not taken or prepared for SCBCD yet. I passed SCJP and SCWCD with quite good results, and I am thinking of taking Sun's certification acceleration package for SCEA, but I am worried that my knowledge of EJBs might be a bit weak and I am worried that my industry knowledge is also not very strong. Normally I would delay taking SCEA until I have more experience with the technology, but there's an opportunity for me right now to get sponsorship on taking SCEA (but not SCBCD) so I am considering changing my plans.

Any advices?

I did SCEA first then SCBCD, after submitting the assignment I studied for SCBCD during the month I was waiting for the SCEA result.
