Need clarifications from SCWCDs & the authors of the HFSJ

[Senthil Kumar]

i am gonna give the SCWCD exam next week.I need a help from the people who already got certified.
Did you really get any questions on design patterns that are not mentioned in the exam objectives.Do i need to study all the patterns given in the sun site.because i found may people suggesting that we need study other than what is in the exam objectives also.
Please clarify me.

hmmm..
well..i am yet to give the exam..
but there has been a mixed response on the 'design pattern' thing.
there will be min 5-7 questions on this topic.
and also, people say, the names in the oprions are very very confusing.
People say they weed out the incorrect names, and select the closes possible name. Even the HFSJ mock has a question that has correct option by the name 'Composite Delegate' and in the expalnation they say, that they just did a fun

Senthil ,

Expect a good number of design patterns question - 7+ - in SCWCD exam . However all the design patterns that are tested are from SCWCD Objectives only and covered in HFSJ . You will not get questions from other design patterns .
However questions will not be straight forward. You will be asked to choose design patterns who will help in solving the problem given in the questions .

Best of luck for your exams
