Question about MasterExam 2

[J Sato]

Is there a reason that the MasterExam 2 with the Java 5 book say the passing score is over 80%? Also, I noticed many of the questions that said "choose all that apply" only allowed me to select one answer.


I only ask because my score was much lower on this exam than any of the others I've taken (first MasterExam, WhizLabs) and it concerns me since I'm scheduled to take the real exam in a week.

I am scheduled to take it in about a few days and i will be taking the 2nd mock test tomorrow. I found the first mock test to have some errors in its answers and the answer guide was very bad too. I scored 65% on that one. Dont worry about scoring low or failing on such mock tests since there could be some errors in your evaluation, and you dont know the number of right answers anywho. If you feel confident about passing the exam then give the exam a shot. If you dont then you can always re schedule. On an average the score on the real exam seems to be 10 to 15% more than on the mock tests. Good luck.

That's encouraging, thanks. Good luck when you take it, hopefully we'll both be putting up the obligatory "I did it" post soon!

yep ! and as usual Mark will move the post to the SCJP results forum after congratulating us. Buwahahahaha !

As far as we're concerned, errors in the master exam are at least as important as errors in the book, so please send us an email, or post you issues in this forum - we want to get this stuff fixed!

Thanks Bert,

I guess the only gripe I have right now since I haven't yet gone through all my answers is that some of the questions said "Choose all that apply" but had radio buttons instead of checkboxes so I could only choose one. I'm thinking they were probably meant to have only one answer, but it still threw me off. But then again, that's not hard to do!
