I've read some things that indicate I should expect some 'short-answer' questions on the SCJP exam (JDK 1.2), but none of the sample tests I've seen have such questions. Is there any experienced advice for approaching these types of questions? Are they machine-graded? If so, should I concentrate on putting down 'buzz' words associated w/ the question so that it'll catch them or such? Does anyone have any sample short-answer questions that are similar to what I could encounter on the exam?
Thanks for any help!
Jim

Hi-
The "type-in" questions are very specific as to what they are looking for......if you are well prepared you should have no problem with these questions.....I think I had 3-4.....

I added a couple to my mock exam. When I get a chance I plan on adding more questions in general.

I think the "fill in the blank" questions on my exam are fairly representative of the actual test, but of course YMMV.

Yep short answer formats are there and u can see some in

Alos dont worry u just have to fill in the blanks most probably using one word that suits most.
