Dear All,

I plan to take the 1Z0-851 exam (OCPJP SE6) this week and I have a few questions:

Can anyone advise if there are still drag and drop questions in it?

In the Examlab mock tests I found the small resolution of the code snippets in the exhibit pop up windows difficult to work with - I prefer to be able to see the entire code without a need of scrolling and to see it in parallel to the available answers. Can anyone advise if the same issue exists in the real exam?

Is it correct that 37 out of 65 questions in 150 min are needed for passing the test and that the number of correct answers for each question is given?

Is there anything to be aware of and watch out for the exam? For example there was a rumor that the drag and drop question would get erased when reviewing the question again. To notice that in an exam situation can be quite disconcerting.
I find the Examlab and the OCJP Practice exam questions quite difficult, a bit discouraging - what would be a required score at these to have a reasonable chance of passing the real exam?

Many thanks in advance,
JG

There are not drag and drop questions in the exam anymore. (Yay!)

I think there were a couple questions where I had to scroll on the OCPJP 7. It wasn't bad though.

Yes.

That's a fact, not a rumor. And it was really annoying. Luckily, drag and drop questions aren't on the exam.

Just to double check - I plan to take the OCPJP6, not 7. Above still true?
