First and furmost Kathy and Bert, you guys are amazing. Your book is amazing. I never used any other text, that was like my haven, my sanctuary!!
i read your book so many times I didn't know if It was still reading
The kanguage, mood and tone just makes you feel at home, it's like my friend there telling me how it goes.
I'm so happy. Could have scored higher but any there is no reason to beat down on my self. Was initially worried about API Contents for the past week but then Bert and Ankit gave me a few tips on how to be on top of API's
here is how I scored
Declarations, Initialization and Scoping ............... 66%
Flow Control ............................................ 81%
API Contents ............................................ 90%
Concurrency ............................................. 75%
OO Concepts ............................................. 70%
Collections / Generics .................................. 80%
Fundamentals ............................................ 81%
I think I took things a little forgranted on declarations initialisation and Scoping and OO Concepts. I thought i had thos in the bag, and put all energy into API's.
Special special mention goes to devaka, with Exam lab. My
word that simulator is so so spot on as far as the actual
scjp exam is concerned. i was so at Home. Exam Lab is the best, including the results report(transcript), drag and drop questions(tasks), everything is just a 1:1 mapping. get that all you who want peace on your exam day, like i just did.
One other thing Exam Lab was tough for me I liked it, so much even though i passed only one exam there, It kept me wanting to do better.
i also have to pay tribute to Whizlabs hey, some of those questions there where spot on.Get that too.
And master exam
Here were my resources:
Sun certified Programmer for Jave 5.0 study guide- K&B
Whizlabs
Examlab Master Exam
API docs, guys you need these
That's all I had
