Just curious, are we supposed to know about the behavior of update(), paint() and repaint() for the exam? I haven't used any of these methods in my coding practice with AWT.

Have you written any applets? (Although I don't think they're specifically covered on the SCJP..not sure though)
But if you've done applets, then painting is something you would have dealt with more, and you would probably need to understand how repaint() works, as well as paint().
