how this exam is different than the real exam.
in terms of the process of the exam e.t.c.
Do we need to comment on every Q ?
How does the comments appear ... will it be at the bottom of every Q?

That is less than 90 seconds per question.
I took the SCJP 5.0 Beta and barely finished. I did not, however, have any time left over for review and was exhausted after that 5 hour exam.
I am now even more puzzled by Sun's goals for this exam given such a short time to read, consider, answer, and perhaps comment on each question. Sun's prospecting for beta candidates on Java Ranch unearths experienced programmers to take an entry-level test. Calibrating test scores by experienced programmers for an entry-level test introduces some statistical noise. The statistical distortion becomes more pronounced by increasing the number of questions (and thus the fatigue factor on the test takers) while decreasing the alloted time per question (and thus the similarity between the beta and actual test questions).

Do we have to reply for every Q in this beta exam?? Or is it Optional?? What if we don't comment on any Q?? Or if we leave to comment later after answering all Q's...what if we dont get time to comment at all??

If everybody gets a certain question wrong, Sun will probably realise that there is a problem with it, even if there are no comments on it
