Sun SCJP 1.5 Exam Became More Difficult

To test the candidate on knowledge of declarations, access control, object orientation, assignments, operators, flow control, assertions, Sun made a new version for SCJP exam recently.

The new version, SCJP 1.5 exam, made the exam more difficult than the previous versions, it added more objectives and new questions to the actual questions and promote the passing score to 59%. However, the candidate need not to worry too much, no matter how the exam changed, it should be a designation that indicates excellent knowledge of the Java spec; as it always does. To compare the changes from the following guideline we list for you, and master all the knowledge, it will be easy for the candidate to pass the exam:

How is the SCJP 1.4 exam different from the SCJP 1.2?

  • Exam objectives: AWT and IO have been dropped. Assertions and Wrapper classes have been added. A deeper understanding of the Collections Framework is required (e.g., using hashCode and equals).
  • Number of questions: 61
  • Time: 120 minutes (same as 1.2 exam)
  • Passing score: 52% (reduced from 61%)
  • Level of difficulty: Sun indicates that it is more difficult.
  • Format of questions: As on the 1.2 exam, most questions (an estimated 80-90%) still have code samples 6-30 lines long. Multiple choice questions may have more than 4 options, but you will always be told how many options to choose.

    • How is the SCJP 1.5 exam different from the SCJP 1.4?

    Exam objectives: Several important new language features have been added, including enums, generics, static imports, and autoboxing/unboxing. API features added to the exam include java.lang.StringBuilder, java.util.Locale, java.util.Formater, java.util.Scanner. java.util.regex.Pattern, and java.util.regex.Matcher. Java IO features have been added, including File, BufferedReader, BufferedWriter, FileReader, FileWriter and PrintWriter. Concepts such as loose coupling and high cohesion have been added, as well as greater emphasis on encapsulation as it relates to JavaBean conventions. Bit manipulation (e.g., shifting) has been dropped.

  • Number of questions: 72 (increased from 61)
  • Time: 175 minutes (increased from 120 minutes)
  • Passing score: 59% (increased from 52%)
  • Level of difficulty: The concensus is that it is more difficult.
  • Format of questions: As before, you will always be told how many options to choose. No credit is given for partial answers.

    • Will there be an exam for version 1.6?

    Sun has made no official announcements regarding an SCJP exam for version 1.6, so no one really knows. (Note that there was no SCJP exam for 1.3.)
