SCJA cert question

[MxDev]

Hi guys,

I just purchased SCJA exam simulator from whizlabs and i pass the final exam with over 92% but i'm still afraid to fail in the real exam. So, what else i need to do to ensure passing the exam??

Thanks

Best thing to do: don't sweat it.

Most employers don't care about SCJA. They want to see experience on a variety of technologies (not just Java) and intelligence.

as Ztini said: experience beats certification. if you do want to take the exam, there are no guarantees whatsoever.

the only thing you can do is:
- know the material covered by it
- prepare for the exam (for instance: don't keep camming until 5am the day you're going to take it)
- take the exam and take your time for it. don't rush through the questions. faster completed doesn't mean the results are better.

Not really having a certificate means that your well versed with the languange

It's just that you can't brag much about it when it comes to finding a job

depends on the situation: if you're between projects, it's better to get certified than to do nothing, but if you get the chance to start at a project, don't let it go just because you could get certified.
