Advice to get started!!!!!!

[geetha nagarajan]

I cleared my SCJP2 in july ,this year.I have no work experience(incl.in java).I would like to appear for SCWCD.
1.How can i get started with the preparation?
2.Is real time work experience ,esssential for the exam?
3.Is there any one around,who has cleared this exam,without any realtime work experience?If so,can u pl.outline your preparation path?
The answers to these questions,will really help me plan.
Thanks in advance.

Please see the JavaRanch SCWCD FAQs and the useful links to get you started.
IMHO I think it's possible to pass the SCWCD without actual work experience (I know a couple who did).
Best of luck
