Hi all,
I scheduled the SCJP test tomorrow...and I would like to know if the Whizlabs Exam Simulator is worth its price (70 bucks).

Thank you in advance!
Gio :-)

Kind of short notice.

I would say it is definitely worth it if you have more than a day to use it.

What makes it worthwhile, is not only the good questions in the Mokc, but also the explanations to study with. Having only one day doesn't allow you to study from the questions.

Thank you for your answer...

I don't expect to STUDY from the questions, though!
I have studied from the Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates book and I scored 86% with their mock exam.
I than scored 97% and 98% with the java rounds (156 questions + 156 questions) here on javaranch.com.
My problem is that I tried some other mock exams but they are old or the questions are not even in proper english...
I am scared...english is not my first language and I only need some GOOD mock exams to check if I am ready for the test...well...I have no choice, I MUST take the test because now it's too late to reschedule it...I simply need to feel more comfortable!
Thank you again!
Gio :-)

isn't it delivered on CD? Unless it's electronic delivery you'll never get it in time

I had the same problem as Giovanni (only old mock exams on the net). But two days ago, I did the test for scjp (without the exam simulator from wizlab) and I succeeded. I had the same book. So I would say: go for it!!!

Good luck!

Thank you pal!

I am actually leaving in a couple of hours... :-)
I know I am ready...I simply don't like TESTS...

I'll post my result within the day in the proper forum area...
