oracle certified professional java se 6 programmerThat sounds so great.. huh!
Some interesting facts about it..
1. 90% of IT developers are SCJP oops OCPJP out of which 90% can't explain what is "public static void main (String[] args)"
2. I cleared this exam (also) with 93% marks, not to check my Java but to put some weight on my resume
3. I cleared this exam on my 2nd attempt (what!.. wat a noob).. Is there some1 who cleared this in first attempt (without reading set of question/answer aka dumps)
4. In my first attempt, I took 2.5 hours to complete set of 60 questions and before I started (i.e, while reading 'PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START') ..a girl (just beside me), completed her exam (that's not even 10 minutes since we entered) and passed with 98% marks.. I hardly got 56% that day.
5. A site killtest(dot)org provides all sort of dumps for such tests..legally, and therz no action (or even a single post in any xyz forum against this). Its a money back guarantee and they quote "Questions in the dumps (pdf) will come as-it-is in your exam, just mug-up and give your exam.
6. Sun (now Oracle) has not changed the set of questions to certify people since , I guess, 10 years.
7. Please study K&B, 5 times, before appearing for SCJP (oops OCPJP) and yes read dumps and get 100%. Theirz no point in being ethical about it, anyways this is a certified-useless-unethical-blab-blab certificate.
8 Your manager has to say "at least get a certificate to switch to a better profile" ("I know Java" does not matter much without certificate)
9 Sun (oops Oracle) should be happy getting revenue from selling their certificate, I dont have the stats -->but, $300 per person <--
10. Yes to get yourself SCJD (or SCEA) you have to get SCJP first, and SCJD (or SCEA) are real certificates. I dont think SCJP should be recognized at all in resumes.
