I passed the 1Z0-804 exam today with a mark of 68%. Not great, but I'll take it. The exam is a lot harder than 1Z0-803 and covers a lot more content. I read the Ganesh and Sharma book and used the Enthuware simulator to prepare for the exam.

There's just so much more that you need to know to pass. I think I skimmed a bit over the basics and that's where I made my mistakes. I got a lot of questions on Interfaces and Abstract classes. Accessing variables in the super class / interface. Also know which methods will be called and which variables will be accessed if you have instance methods and static methods and you're resolving calls at compile time / runtime. Also know which accesses will give you compile errors because they're ambiguous. You also need to have a good overview of exceptions, especially when it comes to file handling. I can't remember seeing a lot of questions on Concurrency and Localization. I guess the test is randomized, so it depends on what you'll get.

No drag and drop questions. Only multiple choice. Some have only one answer and some are where you have to select 2 or 3 correct answers from the provided options.
