Tips for Passing the SCJP Exam

• No short list of observations about the SCJP exam is sufficient as a complete study guide. To be fully prepared, you'll need to spend some time with at least 1 book on SCJP Certification, as well as some of the other resources mentioned in the previous sections. The tips that follow are, however, essential to your success in passing the SCJP exam:
• Many of the questions in the SCJP 1.4 exam will require code-based answers, so practice coding as much as possible in preparation for the exam.
• Some aspects of the Java programming language do not come up as often in the real life as they do in the exam, which can trip you up if you're not prepared. Be sure you understand how operators work in Java code -- particularly the shift operator.
• Multithreading is a difficult topic, and it will come up in the SCJP 1.4 exam. You should know the different ways to construct a thread in a Java program, have a good understanding of synchronization, and be familiar with the functionality of the different methods used in creating a multithreaded application. In all instances, you should be prepared to deliver code-based answers.
• Be sure you've memorized the inheritance hierarchy of the Exceptions and Collections classes. It will come in handy.
• If you're taking the SCJP 1.2 exam, the I/O objective deserves special attention. It is recommended that you be aware of the applicability of various I/O classes, especially those related to the File I/O streams.
• The objective on Garbage collection will have questions asking how many objects are eligible for garbage collection at a particular point in the program. The answers to such questions cannot be verified with the help of examples because you cannot force the garbage collector to run. So attempt as many questions as possible on this topic from various mock exams; compare your answers to test your knowledge.
