Not bad. Room for improvement though
Seriously, congratulations.
Currently, I'm trying to compile a list of bare minimum resources needed to get a good score on SCEA Part 1. Once I have a definitive list, I will be running an experiment to see if I can pass the exam with just a week's preparation. Therefore, I need to minimize the amount of reading required to just the essentials.
Given your superb score, I'd like to ask a couple of questions:
1) With hindsight, despite your additional reading, did the Cade book actually cover enough of EJB to answer the questions/cover the objectives?
2) Are you sure the Cade book covered enough UML to cover the exam objectives? If so, I will omit reading through Fowler's book for exam preparation.
3) With hindsight, did the Cade book cover enough on design patterns and therefore, the Head First Design Patterns book isn't necessary to get a good score on the exam?
4) My current understanding is that the Cade book doesn't cover the following objectives:
- Common Architecture
- Legacy Connectivity
- Messaging
Are you able to recall which resources you used that were the most concise and accurate for exam preparation?
Thank you for your time and congratulations once again.
Peter.
