Serialization-an objective but not on scjp 1.6 exam?

[Anjali Vaidya]

Hi..
I have gone through earlier forums where it says serialization is not asked in SCJP 1.6
But, as far as I have read, it is called exam objective 3.3

I have just 2 questions:
1. Is there any question in SCJP 1.6 on this topic?
2. If it isn't, can this topic be skipped for studying? Because, am finding this highly confusing Or do i have to study it IN CASE it is a foundation to understand any other topics in the future chapters?

Please help!
Thanks

The official objectives are here. As of now, Serialization is not an objective.
