I was running through Dan's Mock Exams, and am curious to know if memorization of all RuntimeExceptions is required for the (1.4) exam?
Thanks for having this valuable resource available to us, Dan!

The most frequent one should be enough

I would be familiar with the common runtime exceptions including:
NullPointerException
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
NumberFormatException
ArithmeticException
You also should understand the exceptions that can be thrown in thread-related scenarios -- both the checked exception (InterruptedException) and the runtime exceptions associated with locks. Like, what happens when you issue a wait() call when you do not own the object (on whom you are calling wait()) lock? Is this a compiler error or a runtime exception
Cheers,

Greg, such exceptions at worktime should not be checked, it should be handled
