Practise programs to clear SCJP concepts

[Yan Lee]

Hi:
I am preparing for the SCJP exam.
Is there a resource that gives practise programs which we can write to
clarify our concepts in the various topics covered in the SCJP exam?
Thanks in advance.

There's a whole list on the JavaRanch Certification FAQ page. Also, check out the free exams, takable by exam objective, at Java Certificate.com, a free site dedicated to helping testers pass the SCJP.
Good luck!

Thanks Jeff. I'm actually looking for more than practice exam questions. I was hoping for a site with "programming" exercises along the lines of "Write a Java program to demonstrate that as a high-priority thread executes it will delay low-priority threads." (this is from the Deitel and Deitel book).
My reason for asking for such a resource is that most challenging SCJP questions seem to be code-based.
Thanks again.

Looks like an interesting link, Jessica. I'll have to try that out.
For the programming tasks, I always build the code that appears in books like The Java Tutorial or K & B. Then, I break it, see what the errors are, learn how to fix the errors, then add more stuff, compile, test, break, and on and on.
Almost every Java tutorial book has code samples and explanations that you can use to build your own projects. Other than classroom environments, whether live or online, I've never seen a Web source for programming assignments.
