Ben Pittens wrote:I have read the book from Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff OCA Study Guide. and I did a lot of excersises too. I looked okay so I even scheduled my exam for next week at Pearson VUE.
Next, I looked at coderanch and people advised Ethuware.
So I bought Ethuware and did some test exams. And guess what: I realy did a bad job. Score just about 40%, but some tests where less.![]()
Ben Pittens wrote:So the Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff book is a very good and easy to read book for the basics but it is certainly not enough I think.
I have to do a lot of practising again to become better.

Ben Pittens wrote:I practise all the chapter exercises of the Boyarsky/Selikoff book and read and did the exercises also on my own system in notepad. (to really learn also coding). And to understand the explanation.
At this moment I copy past every question of the Ethuware test 1 to 3 in Eclypse sometimes in notepad(for compiler exceptions) and look what is hapening and why this is hapening to exercise.

PS. Always use code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted or unindented code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along to posts that are easier to read. Please click this link ⇒ UseCodeTags ⇐ for more information. Properly indented and formatted code greatly increases the probability that your question will get quicker, better answers. I've gone ahead and added the code tags for you. See how much easier the code is to read? If you want to see a few usage examples (and which options you can use), have a look at the Using Code Tags section of the Ranch Guide.

But just for fun you can add a pair of parantheses or add another = to the condition expression and see if this changes things
Ben Pittens wrote:Thanks, Yes I have my Eclipse editor open and learned a lot today with making changes/variations of the Ethuware exercise.
