Postings usually expire in a certain period of time or are managed by a newsgroup administrator or moderator. A newsgroup administrator manages the message postings and filters them if necessary, while a newsgroup operator is the one approving the message posting before it will become available to the public. There are times that you need to subscribe to a certain newsgroup before you can post or read messages.

Should I use SCJP 1.5 PDF Free Materials To Review for the SCJP 5.0 Exam?
Actually, one site that promotes the Second Edition of A Programmer s Guide to JAVA Certification says that many topics that do crop up in the new SCJP 5.0: Tiger version of the accreditation exam can be found in this book. The authors are Khalid A. Mughal and Rolf W. Rasmussen. Certain parts of this book can be downloaded as PDF files, to give the reader a sample of what to expect from Mr. Mughal and Mr. Rasmussen. You can get Chapter Two (about Language Fundamentals) and Chapter 10 (which talks about Fundamental Classes) in PDF format. Other parts of the book that come via downloadable PDF samples are the Table of Contents, the Foreword, the Preface, and the Index. If you prefer, go to the site at http://www.ii.uib.no/~khalid/pgjc2e/sample.html then click on Archive with all PDFs above to get every one of these downloadable PDF samples of the book. However, the authors admit that there are some crucial topics that they do not cover in the hard copy of this Second Edition. These topics are, namely, Generics, Enumerated Types, the Automated Boxing and Unboxing of Primitive Values, Static Import, Enhanced for Loop, Formatting Values, and Varargs. Exam CX-310-055 (or SCJP 5.0: Tiger) is actually the latest version of the SCJP series of accreditation exams from Sun Microsystems. This exam is more of a performance-based exam than a knowledge-based exam which makes it very different from past versions of the accreditation exam for SCJP status.

The Difference between SCJP 1.5 Study Notes and SCJP 1.4 Study Notes
You need to understand that the SCJP 1.4 exam is different in some ways from the more advanced Sun Certification exam called SCJP 1.5 This should guide you in creating appropriate SCJP 1.5 study notes as you study for the SCJP 1.5 exam. First, the SCJP 1.4 exam had only 61 questions which the examinee needed to answer within 120 minutes only. The SCJP 1.5 exam, on the other hand, has a total of 72 questions for you to answer within a timeframe of 175 minutes. It was possible to pass the SCJP 1.4 exam if you answered at least 52% of the questions right. However, the SCJP 1.5 exam sets a minimum passing score of just 59%, which is not much of a concession since most people agree that the SCJP 1.5 exam is much harder than the SCJP 1.4 exam. The SCJP 1.4 exam used to have questions regarding Bit Manipulation but that has been removed from the SCJP 1.5 exam. In the SCJP 1.5 version, you need to be knowledgeable in certain language features such as autoboxing and unboxing; static imports; generics; and enums. You need to study about API features such as java.util.regex.Matcher; java.util.regex.Pattern; java.util.Scanner; java.util.Formater; java.util.Locale; and java.lang.StringBuilder. In addition, it is important to go over Java IO features like PrintWriter; FileWriter; FileReader; BufferedWriter; BufferedReader; and File.
60
Questions regarding encapsulation (based on JavaBean conventions) are deemed more important now in the SCJP 1.5 exam version (compared to past exams.) Both the SCJP 1.4 and the SCJP 1.5 exams require full-length answers, meaning zero credit is awarded for partial answers.

The fifth section is Operators and Assignments which deals with determining the results of the application of any operators of any type, scope, class, accessibility or any of the combination. The sixth is about Overloading, Overriding, Runtime Type and Objective Orientation. Here it states the benefits of code writing that constructs concrete class inclusive of inner classes, normal top level classes, anonymous inner classes and static inner classes. The seventh part is about Threads which includes object locks, synchronizing of wait executions and notifications. The eight topic is called Fundamental Classes in the Java.lang package. It includes the code writing methods of java.lang such as ceil, abs, max, floor, min, random and many more.

Why Should I Choose Study Guides in SCJP Certification Free PDF Format?
First, you need to understand that the PDF document format from Adobe is one of the most secure means for creating documents lately. A SCJP certification study guide that is in PDF document format has security features that prevent easy copying of the data (especially if it is original or unique data that the authors would like to protect.) With the Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional software, an authorized end user can be granted unique passwords so that the originator of the SCJP certification study guide can control who gains access to his data. Without the necessary passwords, the end user may lack the capacity to do certain functions like print out the document, make changes to it, or even just open and view it. If you are talking about free SCJP Certification study guides, these are probably open source materials because they come at no charge to the end user. But the problem with open source materials is that not everyone will respect the right of the original author to see that his original materials stay the same that is why the original author of such open source materials may need to rely on the PDF document format from Adobe to contain and protect his data from people who might alter it or corrupt it. Even government agencies trust the Adobe PDF software for protecting the integrity of their sensitive documents. So if you come across any SCJP Certification free PDF format study guides, make sure you get authority from the study guide author to use these PDF documents first.

Predicting the Nature of the SCJP Test Question in SCJP Accreditation Exams
The good news is that study guides and simulator programs can give you a pretty good idea of what is the nature of the ideal SCJP test question in present and future accreditation exams. The bad news is that that does not mean you will automatically pass any SCJP accreditation exam you take. If you know the type of SCJP test questions you will be encountering, you still have to know how to find the solution to the question. So whether the question is a multiple-choice question, a drag and drop question, a knowledge based question, or a performance based question, the only realistic way you will answer it properly is if you had covered the topic beforehand in your exam preparation stage. One good tip is that in real SCJP Accreditation Exams, you may be given a range of choices to select your answer from. In some study guides, you may find you do not have that option (and yet the study guide or simulator exam still puts you under time pressure.) The point of making the study guide and simulator programs much harder than the real exams is to hone your abilities in the exam preparation stage so that when you get to the real thing, you will be able to cope much better (even when the creators of the real SCJP exam throw you a hard and fast question that you never prepared for.) Another trend you should be prepared for is that new SCJP exams use more performance based questions now. So if you spent
141
your exam preparation time blindly memorizing facts, you may find yourself dead in the water during crunch time. Look for a study guide that gives explanations for the true answers so that you know why your answer was considered wrong and how you can give a better answer in a real exam.
142
In all our endeavors, we need to be prepared and beforehand be ready on what to expect or happen. Just like in taking exams for the SCJP 1.5, it is not enough that you have read everything you have to know about Java programming, there are also things that you may not be aware of that study notes are made available and are useful. The SCJP 1.5 study notes provides study guides on how to take the SCJP exam. It includes guides on practicing codes as 1.5 version is not only about knowledge but more on performance based. If candidate is working in a java environment, such would not be a problem. The hand typing coding is better than memorizing. It provides you tips of how to understand questions as they are given. Books on study notes are available and cover all the topics in java programming. It is enough that you get only one book that covers everything. A study notes are also a record of all small details in java programming. The following are topics that study notes are to cover: 1. Language Fundamentals 2. Garbage Collection 3. Operators and assignments 4. Conversion, casting and promotion 5. Flow Control and exceptions 6. Method Overloading and Overriding 7. Nested Classes 8. Threads 9. Fundamentals in Java Language package 10.Java Collections Framework

Take that small detailed study notes for the SCJP exam and assess your learning. Study notes are guides and are helpful to SCJP candidates.

deemed to ensure the maintenance of the quality in service by the programming professionals. It is more than needed. It is required as the only way for the customers to know the capabilities of their programmers is through these certificates.

However, you should know that the actual SCJP Accreditation Exam has evolved into a new version the SCJP 5.0 version (or Exam CX-310-055.) SCJP 5.0 was created based on Java 2 Platform Standard Edition or J2SE 5.0 (whose nickname is Tiger.) To get SCJP 5.0 accreditation, you need to take just one exam. The SCJP 5.0 exam is now considered a pre-requisite for other forms of accreditation such as the SCWCD, the SCBCD, the SCDJWS, and the SCMAD. J2SE 5.0 is the platform that is an upgrade to the SCJP Exam 1.4 version. You may find yourself comparing SCJP Exam 1.4 to SCJP 5.0 in the sense that the latter has eliminated math class API, shift operators, and bitwise operators. Rather, SCJP 5.0 focuses on other topics like Formatter, Scanner, Queue, and Stringbuilder classes; covariant returns; enhanced for loop; autoboxing plus unboxing; variable-argument lists; static Imports; Generics; and Enums. The SCJP 5.0 Exam also emphasizes performance-based questions over traditional knowledge-based questions. The objectives of the SCJP 5.0: Tiger exam are: the Declaration, Initialization, and Scoping category; the Flow Control category; the API Contents; the Concurrency topics; 00 Concepts; the Collections/Generics category; and Fundamentals.
155
Knowing this, the Whizlabs SCJP 1.4 Exam Simulator Free Download then has value only for the SCJP 1.4 Exam. You cannot use it to pass the SCJP 5.0: Tiger Exam because the coverage of the two exams differ.
