Hi Everyone?
I passed SCJP1.4, SCBCD and most probably might even clear SCWCD Beta, waiting for result, but I somehow have a feeling, might most probably make it.
I took all these exams in just a span of 40 days, and cleared them, hoping that even SCWCD gets through , . I started of everything from scratch, I never knew EJB, Servlet, JSP , But was pretty strong in Java, I knew Java very well,infact excellent and so that gave me the confidence to take up the 3 exams, one after the other in a gap of 2 weeks between each.
I want to thank the following people for there support and help, without which I could not have made it.......
1. WHIZLABS, I took the simulators for all the above mentioned 3 exams, and really this simulator rocks, I really liked each and every test, they really have put in a lot of efforts to frame the questions, Most of there practice exams, I rate it tougher than the actual exam. I really recommend this simulator to one and all to take this simulator for those of you who want to take the exam , to take the exam 100% confidently, without worrying about loosing $150. If you do well in there exams, there is no doubt of failing in the real exam. Mr Pradeep Chopra, you have really done a great job, I wish you maintain the same quality in future.
2. Head first EJB book: This book simply rocks. The best book I have ever read in my life so far. This book, in fact i could say it has a comic, all the complex topics are explained in such a beautiful , simple and extraordinary way, no more words are coming out of my mouth to praise this comic. hats off to Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. I was so confident of this book, it covered all the topics of the exam, I did not even bother to read the specification's.
3. SCWCD study kit by Hanumanth Deshmukh and Jignesh Malavia, this is also a good book, but I will comment on this book, after clearing the exam.......

I never read the specifications of any of these exams, I had complete faith in all the above mentioned books and whizlabs and knew that would take me through.........
Will be taking IBM 484 on this tuesday, the feb 10th, since I got a free voucher, but without much confidence this time because no whizlabs IBM 484 whizlabs product is till not released. Hope to clear it, without thier excellent support this time.
good bye!!!

Hi Jayant!
I read head first EJB 3 times, to get perfect, and than took Whizlabs exams and dill well on those practise tests. And finally the day before the exam, took HF EJB practise test and passed in that.
So my advice is, read each and every page of HFEJB, till it gets into your blood, revise, revise until all the concepts are clear............
good luck!

Hi Sairam,
Congrats, Thats really really amazing. you had given me confidence.
I need one help. Can you please let me know from where i can get the
Whizlabs questions. and you wrote you had given SCWCD exam too, but that include some project test no. Can you give me some idea on this as you said you started 40 days back means that you completed that project too. if i am not wrong. Please give me all details as whats the amount i need to spend for SCBCD and SCWCD.
Which one i should go first.
Thanks
Waiting for your reply
