I've been studying for the scjp 1.4, and when I'm ready to take the exam something comes up. But I should have this wrapped up soon.

I still have 2 months to go, but I think I will go ahead with 1.4.....cos 1.I dont have the required material
2. I dont have JDK 1.5 (not a really gr* reason )
3. From one of the replies to my topic Why take SCJP 1.5?, i think, it hardly makes any difference in ur CV if u r a 1.4 or 1.5 certified...
4. I have come halfway through preparing for 1.4....dont wish to go back to scratch

My whole department is studying for SCJP 1.4 using your book as a study guide. We have weekly "Lunchtime Learnings" and try to cover one chapter per session. I hope we can get everyone certified within the next few weeks.

I'm going for version 1.4 because I have all the materials and cannot afford to by all the new editions for 1.5. It would bother me to waste the books I have on 1.4. But if I pass 1.4 then I would probably start thinking about 1.5 later.

I am studying for SCJP 1.4. I believe Java 1.4 is more widely used in companies than Java 5. I think cracking SCJP 1.4 is easier than SCJP 5. Since SCJP 1.4 has been around a long time, it's easier to get study materials and mock exams. I personally feel that once you are a SCJP, it really doesn't matter whether it's version 1.4 or 5.

Preparing 1.4
I find 1.5 to be a major difference then 1.4 For having a backward compatible knowledge base I think it will be better to take 1.5 piece meal.

Thanks to Kathy and you for the wonderful books and blog

Hi Bert,
I am preparing for 1.5. I lost touch with java for 4 yrs now. I should anyway start from scratch. So why not give the latest one!!

I've decided to go for 1.4 after seeing all above responses and i think 1.5 is brand new and for me 1.5 also costs Rs 2500(INR)more dan in 1.4 in india to give d xam.And it is hard to prepare for 1.5

1.4 - we're on 1.3 at work, and I've been reading the 1.4 edition of the K&B book for the past year or so. I may upgrade later if we upgrade our Java.

Hi

I've been preparing for the last few months to give up scjp 1.4. I'm still half way thru. yet to start my mocks now. Every time I start my preparation, break at some point and start from the first again. Hope I'll do it this time

Hi,
Going for SCJP 1.4, hopefully in September. I decided on 1.4 because I want to do SCJD next year in 1.5.
Good luck to all for the coming weeks and months.

I am taking scjp 1.4 exam. I think scjp 1.5 mostly concentrate on the additional topics included and neglects the actual topics of scjp 1.4 and the topics in scjp 1.4 are used much in real time when compared to additional topics in scjp 1.5

Thanks
