Hello Ranchers,
Today i cleared Part 1 with 90%, i didn't expected my score to touch 90 mark as i just studied for 1 month (avg. 5 hours a day) and have absolutely no exp. on major techs like Web services, EJB3,
JSF, security. Also, i got a score in 80s in all mock tests and expected real exam to be tougher but i managed better may be because i learnt a lot from mock tests and improved my understanding. I spent around 1/4 of my study time on mock questions and i believe this is the best way to study because you see same things from different aspects that you never thought of while actually studying that topic.
I know most of us (running against time) have already given part 1 but for those who still are studying for part 1, here is what all i studied (quickly):
1) Fav. of all - Mark Cade and Humprey sheil book
2) For most other left over topics for details - J2EE5 tutorial by Sun
3) Original book of Core
J2EE patterns and GoF patterns
<Remaining links removed, as at least some of them are illegal, and I am not going to work through them determining which are valid and which are not>
Thanks to all fellow ranchers for helping me achieving this. I hope (rather pray
) i will be able to complete part 2&3 before the DEADLINE
Regards,
Dev
