Dear all,

I have got SCJP 1.4 (81%) and SCWCD (75%), according to my past study experience. I spent at least 4 months to study, doing exercises after each chapter in the relevant book. After seeing the results posted in the certification result forum, I began to wonder my ability.

Now, I bought a discount Sun Exam coupon which will expire by end of May 2007. I just bought Head First EJB book, do you think time is sufficient for me? Is there any effective way of passing this exam? English is my second language.

Thank you for your suggestions in advance.

Regards,
Calson

The head first book is pretty much all that you need. Take a few mock exams after you read that book. Then take the final exam from the head first book. Good luck

Dear Li,
Head First is the best one for SCBCD.
and according to my experience 3 month study is good enough for SCBCD.
Good Luck

It depends on what you actually want to accomplish.

In 3 months, you can read the hf book once or twice, read 2 more beginner or medium-level books, do the handson on all those books, and use 1 or 2 mock exam softwares (assuming at least 3 hours a day, and 10 hrs on weekends).
