scjp 5 vs scjp 1.4

[yashwanth reddy]

can anyone tell me what are the additional topics in scjp 5 when compared to scjp 1.4. I heard that scjp 5 is tougher than scjp 1.4 .i am planning to take scjp 1.4 because all the new topics of 5 are not availabe under one roof. Can anyone tell me where to get them at one place?

thank you
regards,
yashwanth

This Sun website link has the details for both the 310-055 exam (tiger 5.0) and for the 310-035 exam (1.4). Detailed objectives are listed for both exams. In general the tiger exam is MUCH broader than the 1.4 exam. The only things removed from the tiger exam are bit shifting and the Math class, and lots and lots of new stuff has been added...

But think of the wonderful satisfaction when you pass the tiger exam

p.s. Hey Yashwanth! As a bartender I have to ask you if that's really your real name. We've found that if people use their real names here at JavaRanch, the discussions tend to be a lot friendlier! If it's not your real name, please update it! Thanks
