I have been studying
java from scratch for almost 1 year now. And have been concentrating on
SCJP material for 1 month. I am taking whizlabs for practice.
By now I have taken 3 exams out of 5 that comes with whizlab. I have been getting score range from 45% to 55%. Of course the second time I take it, since I have already seen the answers it goes to more than 85%. But whenever I see new exam questions, I feel as if my rate of getting it right is about 50%. Also I feel roughly 10% of whizlab questions are not going to be on the exam or some what not well written/bizzarre.
Whenever I take whizlab new exam, even though I only took
test 3, it feels like only 5 to 10% questions are similar to ones I took before. They just look really new each time. And I am a sucker on questions that I never seen before. That's the main reason why I am only getting around 50%.
I keep seeing people posting high score and saying the real exam are easier than whizlab questions. I should be getting 10% higher than practice exams.
With that all being said, that still put me at a guesstimate of scoring 60% (barely passing) on the real SCJP when recommended is 70%. Which doesn't really give me that warm and fuzzy feeling. I am also getting a little tired studying for it and would like to go back and study for
j2ee stuff.
I think I am making good improvements everyday, but I feel that I only have 50-50% passing chance at the moment. Should I take it now?
