Hi,

I'm doing my last days of preparation before taking the SCJP 1.4 exam on Friday. I've been focusing on doing mock tests, taking both
Dans and Marcus Green's mock exam(82%). The last two weeks I�ve been doing all the practice exams in the Whizlab exam simulator, passing all but
one(31/61). Today I took the Whizlab final exam with the score of 46/61, most errors on Threads. You should be ready for the real exam
if you pass this final test with good marks according to Whizlab, but what exactly are good marks?

Any other last minute tips, except studying some more on threads?

By the way, do the real test enviroment look like the Whizlab simulator?

I didn't use the Whizlab simulator, but if you're getting 82% on Marcus Green's exams or Dan Chisholm's exams, then I'd say you're more than ready to pass the exam. "Good marks" are whatever you think good marks are. Some people are sad about getting 75%, while others are satisfied with passing at 52%. It just depends on the goal you set for yourself.
