Hi ,
I got 82% of the questions right.
For the new takers, here are MY tips and tricks :
1. I tried studying from the manning book, but after reading some chapters from Head First
Servlets and
JSP I realized i was just wasting my time.Get Head First Servlets and JSP.
2. Read it TWICE ( or more ).
3. About the mock
test at the end of HFSJ book... Many of the questions are ambiguous ( one cannot understand what the author wanted to ask, let alone give a straight answer . Apart from that, many of the answers are WRONG ( I will try to post an errata some day soon )!
BUT if you do take the final mock test and score above 70% chances are
99% you'll get a score of above 70% on the exam. Really.
4.
Don't expect questions like
What do you use to retrieve the value of the session attribute "x" from the HttpSession object session:
a. request.getAttribute("x");
b. getServletContext().getAttributeInSessionScope("x");
c. getSomeWeirdObject.getAttribute("x");
d. session.getAttribute("x");
And the answer would be "D".
there aren't ANY QUESTION like that one or similar. In fact I think there was one... but it had 3 correct answers all with valid ways to get an attribute from the session, so pay attention.
To be honest I have expected the exam to be easier
.
Cheers and if you have questions mail me,
Victor
