Hi,

Do the "const" and "goto" come under heading of keywords?
As I am aware of, these two are just reserved word not keywords.

The keywords const and goto are reserved, even though they are not currently used. This may allow a Java compiler to produce better error messages if these C++ keywords incorrectly appear in programs.

for the purposes of the exam i would consider them keywords (they shouldn't be used as identifiers!)

That's right, if they are in a list of possible answers then I would select them as being Java keywords.

Getting someone to think and try something out is much more useful than just telling them the answer.
