Cleared SCJP 5 with 78%
Friday, September 4, 2009
Following are some tips that i want to share with you all who are
planning to give SCJP 1.5
The exam which i gave consisted of 60 questions. Passing Percentage: 58%
Please master in rules of overriding and overloading , coz almost
all the questions test you knowledge of overloading and overriding
Make your concept clear for boxing , unboxing, wrapper to primitive ,
primitive to wrapper .
Criteria for selecting appropriate overloaded method when there are
2-3 methods overloaded with Object, Primitive, Var args as an
argument .
For file i/o , Serialization , get thorough with steps , you will
mostly get drag and drop questions on this section .
String , string buffer , String builder get familiar with API
Threading , Synchronization …… Generics and Collections -- get
thorough with Collection and Array API .HashCode and Equals
overriding , Generics concept , Generic classes
Special thanks to Devaka for ExamLabs simulator.***
The generics concept which is given in Kathy book is good but to get
thorough with each and every syntax when you use generics
we need some more material . There are many ways by which you can
declare generics (with warning and without warning compilation )
and use it . And you need to understand it more critically since here
we do have one more answer “compilation with warning or without
warning ” in the options given ;)
Othere imp topics were Enum , Var-args , Boxing unboxing and File I/0 ..
Since these are new topics included for scjp 1.5 . we need to focus more on these new topics .
(It is obvious that we should be good in other topics also but we can get so
many questions on these old topics from hundred of sites )
By referring questions which are given at the back of Kathy’s book you can
get exam cleared but if you want to get good score you have to go through
different types of questions on these new topics.
All The Best !!!!!!!!
