[Gunj Agarwal]

Hi,Iam planning to write SCJP.could u pls tell me whether I shld go for 1.4 or 1.5.Iam working on java but autoboxing n such topics are new to me.Iam following Khalid Mughal for preparation.Please suggest me which exam would be better or shld i write 1.4 n then go for upgrade.Also kindly suggest me some sites which provide simulators to write online mock exams.

Well, if you go for the 1.4 and then the upgrade, then that will cost you more money.

I suggest the 5.0 exam because it would be a better learning experience for you in learning the new features of Java 5.0

I believe Khalid Mughal is good if you go for 1.4. I will suggest go for scjp 1.5 and follow the book by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. It's a must study for 1.5.

Thanku abhishek n mark.I thought of going for SCJP1.5 and as u suggested for the book should I start reading Kathy Sierra.Iam reading Khalid n im in 4th chapter now.Had kathy sierra for scjp 1.5 come in the market and if any one have could u pls share the ebook with me.

I suggest to go for SCJP 5.0.Any how you have to learn Java 5.0 after couple of months. Its better to get familiar now itself.

All the best!!
