I appeared for SCJP yesterday n failed... its really hard to belive that after so much effort i couldn't make it to.

Don't give up. You should have received a score report, which tells you where your weakest points are. Focus on them. What material did you use ?

[harmeet saini]

studied K&B only, think need to concentrate more on Flow control, is there any other book also which i should have referred . can you suggest me what nect should i do, i need to clear SCJP any how

[Christophe Verré]

I think you're already using a pretty strong book I think you should make samples to make sure you understand and remember the concepts. Have you tried any mocks ?

[harmeet saini]

ya i tried cert pal, exam lab and master exam, i scored 60% in examLab and above 50% in cert pal and master xam, i thought i was ready for exam seeing this score, but i think i should have attempted some more mocks

[Christophe Verré]

Pull up your sleeves and make many samples After that, if you want to boost your confidence, maybe you should try some commercial mocks like Enthuware's.

Hi, i also studied only K&B and just gave three or four mocks in which my score ranged from 50% -75%..but i cleared the SCJP 6 exam last week with 91%, so my point is your preparation level is alright. I think whats important for the exam is confidence, which can only be achieve through practice. I wrote a lot of small codes to get my concepts rights. So make sure, you practice well.

And dont worry you can crack the exam buddy..trust yourself! Best of luck
