I passed the cert. this morning, but only 77%. I got a lot of help from the internet during my preparation. Even I didn' get a good score in the exam, I would like share some feeling about it with you.
First is about my background, then you could know if my experience is suitable for you or not. I started to learn
java since Aug. no much more experience in programming.
1)I did about ten to fifteen mock exams. When I took the real exam I should say the real exam is really different from the mock exam. I DON'T mean it is much more difficult. If you had done some mock exams
you should feel they are similar. But the real exam is different. The
test objectives are the same, but I think they ask you the questions from another angle or a different format.
2)The long code didn't appear often. Don't worry about it. They will tell you how many answers are right, but they will provide very similar items to confuse you.
3)I used up all the time. But during mock I usually used 65-70 minutes. I think the reason is that real exam is different( or more difficult for myself) with mock exams.
4)Even there is difference. I think mock exam is a very good tool for you to learn. If I average my scores for all of the mocks, I think it is about 80%. It is very similar with my final score although I couldn't understand why.
thanks a lot for your guys' help and good luck for all who will take the exam in the future.
