Hello to all, i'm new to this website and seeing as how its a good way to speak with people about the
SCJP i was interested in learning more about it.
I am currently an undergraduate, about to graduate with a BS in Computer Science and I have done a bit of programming, primarily in
Java. I'm very interested in taking the "Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform, SE 6.0 Test"
I purchased a book with a pretty good and hefty amount of information for the
test that most people recommended to me. It is the "SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 Exam 310-065" by Sierra and Bates
However, I am a little confused about the test and I couldn't find much information on it even on Sun's website.
I have a few questions, first is the test completed on a computer or is it a written test?
Second, is the test only 60 multiple choice questions? I ask this because towards the end of this book it mentions some form of a program you must turn in and also a follow up essay exam. I am a little confused about this essay portion because I thought it was simply a 60 question multiple choice test.
And lastly, apparently you get 180 minutes for this test, are there any breaks in it for sections or anything...? Or is it just a start and go until you finish type of test?
