Thread: CLeared SCJP1.5 with 93 %

DI took my SCJP 1.5 exam on monday, and i am really happy to tell
you guys that i have secured 93%.

I would like to share my experience.
The exam wasnot that tough and was 210 min long.Yes i.e 3.1/2 hrs
and its more than enough.I completed it in 2hrs and 30 min.
Dont leave any chapters.
To clear the exam i will STRONGLY recommend all of you to follow K&B
book.Read the book well.Try to understand the topics.Do the self
tests properly , which will surely help you since it will clear your
concepts.

Most important is that you revise topics which are quite tough ,
probably i felt Generics,Collections and threads as the toughest
topics.So i revised these chapters atleast 5-6 times until i was
very clear.

I will also recommend you to write some programs specially for
Collections(Hashmap, hashset),Thread etc For example i was confused
about how hashCode() and equals() work.What i did was i wrote few
codes related to them and then tried to understand the flow.It
really helped.
Other chapters i revised 2- 3 times.But anywhere you are stuck, just
try to write code related to it.
As far as mock tests are concerned, i feel any mock test is fine.

I think you need to prepare Thread,I/O and Generics very well as you
will find quite a number of drag and drop questions on these topics.
Best of luck guys.....
