Well it depends how fast you can understand and remember new topics.
As you have lot of experience i think 30 to 40 days is enough if you can spend more than 4 hours per day.
Best Of Luck.

You may use our SCJP 5.0 Time Calculator to get an approximate estimation about your preparation.

It depends on how much you need to learn and how high you want to score. I would suggest:
- try one of the mock exams to see how much you need to learn/refresh
- refresh your java knowledge using the K & B book. You can finsih it in about 10 days if you can read one chapter a day.
- try as many mock exams as you can to get close to your score/goal.

If you just want to pass the test, I think you can do it in 4 weeks.

Just remember that Certification Exam is very much different from our day-to-day coding on job. As we don't use all the concepts on job.

Hi Rajeswari,

BTW your SCJP Preparation Time Calculator is cool. It gives recommendation as well.

Total how many certification questions are set-up in this bundle.
