Your little help and experience will really help.

Hi there,

I think you are best judge of yourself. If you think you are not getting score as per your capability then take your time spent some more time on your prep.

Hi sandhi mridul,

I think you will be able to clear the exam on the based of these scores, how ever i will like to inform you that about the following facts:

About SCJP 5.0 :
-It is easy to get 60-70% score. ( after two reading of k&B, you will get that)
-70 -80 % -> If you don't enough mocks, and your concepts are clear.

-80-100% -> This depends upon how much lamp oil you have burnt to burn the concept into your mind. If you have worked hard, you will get good score.

Exam will also have similar pattern, it will have enough Easy question to clear the exam on border. You can consider 20 % of the questions will be difficult and your hard work will help you there.
Tell you about judging your self, this is natural tendency that we always think that we can do better than our current ability, So you will always ask some time from your self.
Master exams in the CD are somewhat tougher than the real exam, your score is good, you are in the category of 70-85%. My suggestion would be understand each of the question on the master exam very well. This will help you to come in the line of 85-100%.

I am sure you will encounter some question on the real exam which are similar to Master exam...!!

This is my point of view about the exam..!! I know because Master exam helped me..!! However luck will be a good factor also..!! don't leave any topic from K&B.
