How to prepare for SCJP 6 exam?

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hi,

I had studied Java 7 years back and now I want to appear for SCJP 6 certification. Please guide me how should I prepare and what all study materials should I use.

I have not done any coding for the last 7 years. I have roughly gone through Kathy Sierra book and had attempted for Devaka Coorey's free mock tests. I found the questions very good and tough.

Please tell me how long will it take for a person like me to clear the certification exam with 90+ score and what should be the path that I should follow to acheive that.



Please ...please help me.....

Thanks Vijitha,

I will definitely go through that.

However, I would like to know the time (in days) required to clear the certification exam with 90+ score considering that I have not done any coding for the past 7 years.

I guess there is no definite answer to your question.

Most important thing is how quickly you can catch up with Java and learn the core concepts, specially those from K&B book.

SCJP is a tricky exam, it actually requires a candidate to understand the topics. And memorisation does not help at all other than some API contents.

Your first time score of Sierra Bates should give you a good indication of where you stand at the moment. And you need to get over 90% in the mock tests to be self assured that you will get 90+ in the real exam.

Hi,
i'm also preparing for the SCJP exam.

Now i've just given the free trial exam from whizlab a try and got 86%... Is this free exam (28 questions) of the same level as those commercial exams of whizlab?
So yes i think my score is good enough to pass right?

Yes I think so, but you can't judge yourself by just answering 28 questions, you should definitely practice a LOT more than that ...

I know so i tried also the master exams from the cdrom from K&B:

2 exam: first exam first try: 64%
second exam first try: 64%
first exam second try: 85%

I must say that the first tries of those exams were in the beginnen, the second try was a few days later...

you still think i'm ready to pass?

Are you confident after giving these mocks. If yes then you are ready to give. If not then give more mocks or solve the same mocks again till you are confident.

if you solve the same mocks, you know the answers to the questions because of the first try...
