Dear Ranchers,
I was able to finish up the part 1 of
SCEA (310-352) with a score of 64%. This is less than my expectation, any way happy about getting over it
. Sharing the experience, I have got questions from almost all the areas including the previous exam topics + JPA,EJB3,
JSF, Web Services. The time was marginally enough , since some questions were lengthy. There were couple of straight forwards as well. There were lot of design
pattern questions, got through thanks to Head First!!, Web services stuff JAXP, JAXR, questions, No UML diagrams
The forum really helped me a lot. Thank you all the ranchers who posted their valuable experiences here.
Following are the study materials that I went through in addition to the articles i came across in the Web.
1. Head First Design Patterns
