Jose who knows when SCJP 7 will be launched. SCJP 6 is not very old right now. Why do you want to wait for a full year for SCJP 7. And who knows you might have to wait longer than that. Also by the time you will give SCJP7, you can do some other certifications if you go for SCJP 6 right now (or two-three months later after preparation). And even if you still decide to go for SCJP 7, then why not start preparing for it now if you have time. Its not that all the objectives of SCJP6 will be removed from SCJP 7. Your studies will still deliver to you. So IMHO, you must start preparing for SCJP 6 right now...

Thanks for replying so fast. You made an excellent point i was worried that might be a bad idea. I've been with java for about 4 years now, since then i've been with quite a lot specially with swing and just last year started with WebAplication, Hibernatem JPA, JSF, JMF, and much more i believe i'm ready to take the test.

Thanks for the advice.

Java 7 is probably going to be released sometime in June 2010 or so. It will take much longer than that before SCJP 7 will be out. Currently it is not even clear yet which changes will go into Java 7. At this moment, there's really no point in waiting for the next version of the SCJP exam.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
