Hi ranchers,
I am planning to take the
SCJP exam. I am a cs( kern Informatik )majored student studying for Diplom in Germany, have programmed in
Java for more than 2 semesters -- but we use Java only as a tool to implement some data structures, algorithms and
patterns, also for some numerical computing. That is to say, we don�t emphasize too much on Java itself, same work can be also done with Pascal, Fortran, C, C++, or whatever else, the instructors intended. We are even forbidden to use some classes in java API for homework. So that actually I am not very familiar with Java features though I work with it all the time.
If with the book which has been recommended here, how long do you think I need to take to prepare for the SCJP exam? 2 or 3 weeks enough? And, anyone knows how does the exam office schedule the SCJP exam for an individual? Before Feb. 26th I am fully occupied with academic work, then will have time till Apr. 4th. I want to take the exam during my winter vacation at home in China. Is it possible to:
1. Well prepare for the exam in such a short time? Hard work and good book affordable.
2. Purchase the exam from the exam office in Shanghai and ask them whether they have an exam schedule during March. 5th to Apr. 4th?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Ellen
