Hi Guys,
I cleared the exam with 90% marks. Thanks to K & B book. I read the book cover to cover at least 5 times. There was nothing on the exam which was not covered in the book but still you need to solve a lot of practice questions to clear the exam.

Some important things about the exam:
1. Each chapter has equal weightage so don't give a chapter more preference over other.
2. Don't expect the exam center to be quiet. (going last on the day might help. I was the first one for the day and lot of people were coming in and going out in the middle of my exam.)
3. I wasn't able to review drag and drop question. The software was giving a warning that if I try to review the question then I'll have to re answer them which was really frustrating.
4. Process of elimination really works.

Can anyone tell me when will I get the actual report from Sun?? Also, should I go for SCWCD?? Can you suggest reading material for that?

Thanks,
Nikunj Jariwala

Congratulations on a great score. The test center should have given you the report when they gave you the score.

By mid-week you should receive 2 e-mails from Sun. One e-mail will give you your Sun Certification ID and have information on how to register for the Certification Database. If you do not get that e-mail, send a message to [email protected] to ask about it.

Two to three weeks (or longer if you are not in the U.S.) after you register into the Certificate Database, you will receive in the postal mail a welcome kit containing your SCJP certificate and a small plastic wallet-size ID card that indicates your SCJP status. Your score is not printed on them. If you do not get that package then send a message to [email protected] to ask about it.

Congrats on your score in SCJP.:-)
I'm planning to take up my SCJP exam next month.
Could you please guide me on the topics that i should lay more emphasis on?
All i know is that more weight-age is given to Generics and collections,Inner classes,Threads and I/O.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
I would really appreciate your inputs.:-)

Thanks
Shravya
