Java exam guide question

[Nart]

hi..
i've just finished readin the 'Complete Java 2 Certification' study guide, 2nd edition from sybex.. the material is excellent.. and i did well in practice exams... and scored 42 out of 50 on the final exam...
has anyone read this guide? is doin good on that final exam a sign that your ready for the real thing... ? the thin is that i feel that the real thing will be much harder and that i still need to do some studyin... any ideas ?

I hope soo becouse i used the same book, and the little book they recomend at the back off the cover !
I try too take the exam on wensday, soo im studing hard now, and hope this book is enough knowledge to pass the exam...
I also have done The Marcus Green tests, and some other test on the internet !!!
I reply this message on wensday, then i can tell you if this was enough, too pass the exam !!!

take some more mock exams -- Marcus' Valentin's and Maha's are great ones... once you consistently score in the 80's you're all set to go.
Check out the FAQ for a list of Mocks.

I suggest that you should read Mughals Book.Thats an excellent book.If you take the marcus green exam and get above 80% in your first attempt,then you are all set to go.Take valentin's exam,and if u pass,and i guarantee that you will pass the real exam.
I got the same marks which u got in the final exam of R&H books,and in the real exam,I got better marks!

Yes, i totally agree with Gautam, read the Khalid Mughal's book it really helps me alot, it doesn't just only help me to pass the exam but it also help me to understand the Java languag, don't forgot to try the jq+

Hi Nart,
You must not believe that getting good score
in two or three mock exams will be a sign for
success in the real exam. You have to do at least
10 mock exams ( 600 QS ). I have done at least
1300 mock questions and I still think I am ready
for the real one.
You should get JQPlus. It is just US$20. It is
very useful.

Hei Nart Seine i prommised to answer this topic after the exam.....
I pass today with 75 %, the book you read is the same that i have, but there is a lot about strange way to construct threads that isent mentioned in this book.....
I have the same score as you at the final exam in the book....
Try some mook exam on the internet, and then GO FOR IT !!!
