I want to have this cert before it retires.

Hello,

I had a dream to get this cert under my belt.
I have quite a good experience of like 17 years post graduation into the software development field now.
I have cleared the other steps like course, assignment, essay exam.
Only this last step 1Z0-807 is remaining.

Right now I am in a dual mind. Although more inclination is towards going for the exam by 20th August 2020.

I also did AWS Solutions Architect Associate recently.

What do you suggest people? How about going for it?

I just want that feather in my cap.

I feel the concepts still apply when you go to manage projects and do architectural level decisions. Only the particular technologies have some shifts otherwise the actual concepts still apply for better architecture designing.

I think if i get it it will not be bad.
It will still reflect as a positive point.

Hi! I have this dream too. I did the 1Z0-807 one month ago and I'm in a rush in the last two weeks to complete the 1Z0-865. I hope I could make It in time until the end of this month so I would be able do the 1Z0-866 in August.

That's awesome to hear. Not alone in the endeavor. Wish you the best of luck.


In last couple of days for 1Z0-807 I have gone through the following

1. OCMJEA exam book. Read chapters of Business Integration and Security
2. Gone through the ViewHelper/Dispatcher View/ServiceToWorker/Front Controller/Composite View/Service Facade/ResourceBinder/ContextHolder patterns in last
3. Taken Enthuware 1st practice exam then gone through its explanations
4. Taken Whizlabs final practice exam too.

And I am planning to focus more on this prep in next 2 3 weeks too.

Would you suggest me anything to skip? For example I feel that Applets are obsolete, don't know if they still appear in exam. The concept of Applets sandbox etc.

Regards,
Asif

I have done the same as you, but I have only taken the real exam after reach more than 90% in all the Whizlabs tests. In the real exam, my score was 81%.
Regarding to Applets, I have studied everything in order to gain every point available. It's just a few lines to remember, so, It worth the time spended.
