Hi Friends,
I can't describe my excitement in words. Yes....
I am also in elite
group of SCJP-2.0 I passed SCJP-2 with 72%. The score is not very great. I could have scored better but as you all know every day is not our day.
I had really put a lot of efforts to get this score.
Let me describe it to you all.... may be this will help few of you
But, First thing keep in your mind.....
The Exam is really not at allllllll difficult..... I mean passing the exam is easy.
Any way.... I am a civil engineer presently in Kuwait.
I have a good hand in computers, But never done any programming.(Should give
boost to some persons)
I thought of doing
Java in August, when I came from India to Kuwait.
Unfortunately, I started it in September.
( After committing to myself that,I will go to USA by the end of this year)
So, Guys .....You all have to
set the target first. I went through the complete BalaguruSwami book first, which helped me a lot in clearing my doubts.
The BalaguruSwami book is not sufficient to for certification. but it is good for the person who wants to start from the scratch.
Then, I found RHE and Khalid book from One of my friend
(Mahan Singh, having more than 15 certification from Brainbench and Micro Soft.)
Guys..... Khalid is really a good book. he has written a lot but useful. After seeing the exam, I found that RHE would have also been sufficient but we are not preparing for exam only...
I followed a lot of material from web. Some sites are really useful. specially the mahaanna's one.
Ultimately...... The main point .... How was the exam.....
I didn't get any code bigger than 20 lines.
Some question. were tricky and I know, I couldn't answer them right. All tricky questions were from language fundamentals.
(
Like encapsulation and data hiding all definition ). I got lowest score in this section only. I never expected this to come in exam.
No true false questions.
No short answer questions.
IO was really very easy.(Only the constructors).
Two questions from collection.
Threading 4 questions.( only one question which was difficult and other 3 were easy.)
I still remember a lot of questions. but I think.,I am not supposed to disclose them..... Moderators must be knowing better.
But still, If somebody wants to clarify any doubts ...let me know... I am available....
bye for all
Amit Tyagi
