Please help me out.
I'm in doubt about the marking scheme of scjp, the doubts are:
1) is there any sort of negative marking. if yes how?
2) do all questions carry equal weightage?
3) what if my answer in fill in the blanks dont match , even if its correct. how do avoid these sort of mistakes
4) do all question have -> select __ correct answers , i.e 1,2 or 3
5) do the certificate from sun has the passing percentage over it?

1.Sun only gives credit for correct answers, So guess if you have to.
2.All the questions carry the same weight. There are 59 questions, and your percentage will be howmanycorrect/out of 59.
3.The test gives explicit directions for the fill in the blanks. Follow them.
4. All the questions say how many right answers there are.
5. When you take the test, you'll get a printout of your score. This printout will tell you your score, the breakdown of your results (how many right you got per section). The certificate doesn't have anything about scores on it. It just says your name and that you've fulfilled the requirements.

Just one more query from my side :
"Can we go back and forth or sort of skip some question
and come back to it later ?"

You can mark any question and come back to it. I went through and did all the easy questions, and then went through it again.

Is the UI of the exam similar to that of JQPlus.
Is it compulsory to mark the questions that we want to attempt
later on ?
