Hi guys,

Actually till now i have read K&B book once and given its all chapter end exams... and cleared all doughts of all questions i answered wrong..

what i m doing is revising each and every chapter ... giving its chapter end exam once more... i m getting almost all right and giving DAN exam chapter wise....
but in DAN exams i m getting 50% right .. and I am v.worried regarding my preparation...after doing DAN exam i m learning soo much... but the thing is that How close to i am to final prepration. ?
( please do give comments on this ) please...

and now ...
I have also the book of Khallid mughal but that i even don't have touched as i don't have much time and i found K&B much better and easy so i started with that book ...
I have reserved full mock exams of K&B and khalid mughal for final testing of my prepration.. and other full mock exams availble on internet...as much i get...


Now i have only 10 days of holidays left ....for prepration...
so confused... about reading khallid mughal book full ..

Actually my Aim is 100%.. yes, 100% and i can sacrifice anything for that... even i can take more holidays if needed and whatever you people suggest me...
can u please tell me what chapters I should read specifically from kahllid mughal book so i don't miss any thing from that book not given in K&B ...?
..as i m thinking to do its chappter wise exam..and find out the info that i don't know or get to know from K&B ...but is that enough ..

Its my humble request to SCJP's that pls do give your suggession/comments ..and help me get damm good percentage...

Dan's mock exam are really hard. I use to get 60-65% on them. Try to find out your weak areas. If you are aiming for 100% then make sure you are really good in answering Thread and Garbage Collector questions, because I personally feel that they are bit hard on real exam.

Rest of the objectives questions should be simple if you have got good grasp of your fundamentals. Do not try to cram the contents from Khalid Mughal in last 10 days. I feel K&B book is sufficient to get 100% score.
Keep on solving all possible mocks you can find on internet.

Good luck...

well, I don't know what book K&B is since I did SCJP a while back so I don't know how to compare that to the preparation I did.

Did you type all the code examples, compile and run them? Then did you think of things to modify in them and compile and run them? When an answer to a code-based mock exam question wasn't what you expected did you try to compile and run it? I found that really valuable to understand concepts (got 98%, I guess I should have studied Threads more! ) . Not everyone learns the same, so your mileage may vary.
