Thoughts ???
My first thought is that you are probably misunderstanding the nature of the exams. The three exams you mention (
SCJD, SCWCD,
SCEA) are completely different from each other and it is very, very,
very unlikely that all three are of interest to you.
The SCWCD exam is a bit like the SCJP exam you've just done, but then for web containers.The SCJD exam not like that at all. It is not about technology. It is about understanding a disciplined software design and development process.The SCEA exam is again totally different. It is not a natural successor after the SCJD or SCWCD exams. It is for architects who probably never touch Java code -- it is very, very high levelSee
this thread for a lively discussion of the above.
