What should you be scoring on the Sierra/Bates book mock exams, before you're not wasting your $300 to take the SCJP exam? The first time I took both tests, I failed, but I thought it unfair because they presented material in the test that wasn't covered in their book, so I totted it up as a learning experience.

The second time I took the two practice exams, I got 95% or higher. Does that count, really? Being a good pattern matcher, I don't know if I actually 'know' the material that well, or am just remembering patterns.

I'm taking the Rules Roundup too, and sometimes missing one still, but not very often.

Am I ready?

Do not take mock exams that you have already finished. The results will not be fair.

Try more mock exams to learn where you stand
