Preparation tips for OCPJP- Oracle Certified Professional Java Programmer

OCPJP is the same as SCJP ,just the name change after Oracle overtake the Sun.
  • Which Is the book to be referred? I would say SCJP Guide By Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates is the best for OCPJP- Covers all the concepts required. There’s one more book by Khalid Mughal, which covers lot of concepts and has too much of information for the exam. Its Generics and collections chapters are exhaustive.
  • Try to focus on Generics as there can be some really tricky questions from there and also dont leave any concept unclear. Questions will test multiple areas
  • There will be few drag and drop questions on the exam which are pretty easy. One can go through the exercises given in Head First Java to get a feel of them.
  • Dumps are of no use- They may be able to get you higher percentage, but it will not add to your practical knowledge and will not clear your concepts.
  • Best place to hangout- JavaRanch- The best place for SCJP preparation.
  • Myth- SCJP Will get u a job- I would say proper preparation for OCPJP and a good score will increase your Java skills => Will higher your chances of getting a job .:)
