Sun Java Certification [Resolved]

[mendhak]

Is there any equivalent that the Sun Java Certification has similar to the braindumps that MCSD (.NET) papers have?

The core cert is the scjp. You pretty much have to pass that before you can do anything else. Then you can go on to the scjd or j2me ect ect........

I took the scjp a while ago and found it extremely difficult. I think it might be easier now to pass because of the time extension and the lack of awt/swing on the exam.

Yes, I am aware of the certification. I'm asking about some study material for it. MCSD has something called braindumps, you must've heard of it. It consists of a lumping of questions and answers that have appeared in previous exams. Very useful when preparing for the .NET papers.

Any similar study material for SCJP? What do you use to study for the SCJP?

I haven't taken it yet, but I do have a book I bought covering an older exam. The questions at the end of the chapters are some of the most difficult I've ever seen, You could read the whole context and still miss everyone. I think the best thing to do, is find somewhere on the java site, or somewhere else, that offers free practice exams and questions. AND DO LOTS OF THEM

Yeah im sorry i really didn't understand the question. Yes sun has some stuff like that. I think it's called Sun Web Learning Center. I think it's off of this page http://www.sun.com/training/certification/index.xml perhaps under ePractice exams.

As for books you can't get much better than A Programmers Guide to Java Certification. This is the one i own http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...48&TXT=Y&itm=7

and i just finished reading the newest edition http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...81&TXT=Y&itm=4
on http://safari.oreilly.com/ I don't buy books anymore. My shelves can't hold em.

Thanks very much for the links.

It's for a friend of mine. I personally don't plan to work with Java until .NET tumbles over.
