Hi,
Today I took SCWCD and failed miserably. I was short of 1 correct answer scored 68%. I am a silent member of javaranch . Samething happened for
SCJP. But I have biggest satisfaction there since I used to discuss my Core
java topics with my dad who was terminally ill at that time and in his last days it was our main conversation. He cried when I lost first time and advised me to write the
test soon and go to India since he wanted to see me. Second time I passed; at that time he was in his life support and I flew to India. My preparation time for Core Java was 31/2 months. I was using Kathy Sierra& Bert Bates SCJP study guide. For the second attempt I got Enthuware. Also I used to come in Javaranch and /www.examulator.com site in silent mode.
For SCWCD same thing I followed HFSJ and Enthuware. I started preparing 3 months back. I lost 3 weeks in between since my 3year old daughter got pneumonia. Everything is a learning experience. I wanted to pass this before my dad�s first death anniversary but couldn�t do it. Both HFSJ and Enthuware are very good learning material. I am planning to take this test again before the end of this month.
For todays test SCWCD:-
jsp standard actions 4-5 questions
JSTL/ Custom tags lots of questions
J2EE Design
pattern 4-5 questions
Security related and DD related questions were straight forward.
Thanks
Anitha
