Dear Friends,
r K&B book questions and master exam enough practice for the SCJP 5.0?
I have just gone through the trial version of whizlabs exam,it was somehow tough,for example it have a question on Parsing,where it need u to memorize the methods of scanner(which not all of them r mentioned in the book).
also does the exam need that kind of memorization?
Thanks in advance,

I can say this. The stuff covered in K&B covers everything that can possibly be on the test. The Whizlab stuff sounds like it goes a little further on some APIs that won't be on the test.

But it won't hurt either to know that.

I agree with Mark. In addition to the K&B book I would consider taking some additional mock exams online and spending some time browsing through the posts on this forum looking at other's questions.

I just passed 1.4 scjp this morning. You can see my study notes here:

I essentially just used the K&B book, but also spent time in these forums and taking more mock exams.
