How much time required to do the mock tests ? How about writting some java snippet just to test out the code? Well, is that a full time or a part time thing?
It's really rare people can do things like I did.
Actually, I passed my scpj with couple days of preparation from javadoc and scjp tutorial from SUN web site and I have only wrote a Hello World that looped 3 times. I think the exam is so easy even my 3 years old can do it with. I think Sun should raised the score to 85% so that my 3 years cannot do it without writting a Hello World to loop 4 times.

I would love to know what -38 looks like in binary and what rule i'm missing so i can get past this section cause continuing to look at it is driving me nuts![]()

thanks for your help

I have been following every public posting on the subject of Java Programmer Certification since 1998 (this is tens of thousands of messages) and the general consensus is that the time to study is measured in months not weeks.

Instance variables are varibale declared at class level.In your code the Static int i; is an Instance variable.that is why you are able to access it after the constructor is called.
I dont think it means that the only way to access a static varibale is thru Super() call ..as parameter!!! that would be so wrong.

if you see page 316, the point just above what you mention ..
it says that "You cannot make a call to an instance method or an instance variable, until after the super constructor runs".
if you see your code.. you are accessing the Static variable after you are calling super()!!! which it totally legal.infact you can access any instance variable(static or not) after super has run!!
what the second point on page 316 means is that before calling super , the only variable that you can use is Static. and that also as an argument to Super() or this().
i hope i was clear![]()
