Cleared SCWCD - 91% [Thanks HFSJ authors]

[Jayant Raj]

Hi All,
Just wanted to inform you that I cleared SCWCD today & scored 91%.

My strategy was to:

- *Study* (not read) HFSJ at least 3 times thorougly.
- Went through the servlet & jsp specs.
- Whizlab mock exams in the final days of prep & HFSJ exam on the penultimate day.

Special thanks to authors of HFSJ Bryan, Kathy & Bert. HFSJ is abolutely the best in the business.

Cheers!!

Isn't there another forum under Professional Certification just for bragging about passing an exam?

Why do you post to this forum instead of the one dedicated to posting your score?

Congratulations Jayant!

Michael,

You missed the essence of the post here or else you have got the definition of 'bragging' wrong.
Not that I need to clarify myself to you but the point was to reinforce the fact that HFSJ was a great companion (along with the specs) to clear the test. The content was in accordance with the course objectives for the test & also it has helped me be a better S&J programmer.

If my fellow ranchers also feel that I was 'bragging', then I request the moderators to delete this post. But only if Mr. Ku has a problem, then I feel he needs to be educated that such posts & his choice of words really leave a bad taste & helps no one.

I have noticed Mr. Ku has posted the same message in another thread.

[Christophe: removed not too nice comment]

Cheers!!

Ok guys, please stay cool.

Isn't there another forum under Professional Certification just for bragging about passing an exam?
Why do you post to this forum instead of the one dedicated to posting your score?

Ranchers should post their results to the Certification results forum, but they are allowed to share their experience in the exam forum. Moderators will sometimes move the topic if they feel that it does not belong to the forum anymore.

Hi Jayant,

Congrats for your fantastic score

And can you pls tell me whether the specs are must or what.
HF alone won't be sufficient for the exam???

Pls revert back.

Thanks,
Satya

[Jayant Raj]

Thanks Satya..

It is very important to study HFSJ thoroughly. You should be well versed with every nook & corner of this book.
I had noticed there were questions in HFSJ which were not covered in the text of the chapters such as Dynamic Attributes, NamedDispatcher,details on tag files, web.xml elements like <resource-ref> etc..

So just try & earmark a week of your prep to glance through the specs.

Let me know if that answers your questions.

Cheers!!

Thanks Jayant for quick reply. And this much info is sufficient.
Thanks a lot.

[Carl Wauters]

Congratulations with your fantastic score!

I would like to know what you need to know about ServletRequest, ServletResponse, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletReponse and their methods. Is it enough if I just memorize the methods that are mentioned in the HFSJ book, or do I need to know the other ones too?

Thanks for your reply and good luck with other exams :-)

El Javaista,
Welcome to the ranch. Please take some time to read the Naming Policy and change your name accordingly. Yours is far from being something which souds like a real name Thank you for your comprehension.

Jayant, your comment below was very good and will be useful to all taking the exam

I too found that these topics were missing from HFSJ and yes they were on the exam. It is this kind of information that benefits everyone.
