SCJP 6 Exam - Book Question

Hello.
I'm thinking of taking the SCJP 6 Exam.
I looked into taking the SCJP 5 Exam a number of years ago, and purchased the SCJP 5 Study Guide from Kathy Sierra. However, work and life got busy, so I did not pursue it any further.
Would the book I have be good enough to do the SCJP 6 Exam, or should I bite the bullet and purchase the latest 6 book. Or are there any better books or even free online resources out there....
Any input appreciated.

That said, there don't seem to be too many changes (at least according to [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Java_SE_6_.28December_11.2C_2006.29]this page; there may be better ones out there) that would affect the test too much. The synchronization, garbage collection and annotation updates are something you might want to check on (although I don't remember a single question about Annotations when I did the v6 test; several on the other two though).
Also, the SCJP6 book has been out for a while, so I suspect you could get it fairly cheap on Amazon or even eBay.

SCJP exam related question

Does the exam expect you to know all the subclasses of EXCEPTION and RUNTIMEEXCEPTION or is ir more likely to just test your knowledge on which have to be dealt with in order to compile?
I am not fimiliar with all the subclasses and this is why I ask. A question that states a mthod throws CannotUndoException may catch me offgaurd.
Another question is....
If you have a method and declare it to throw a runtime exception. Does that mean that if you call on that method that you must deal with it? IOW does it become a checked excption or will Runtime Exception never be checked by the compiler?

This question (apart from the totally undescriptive title) has no relation whatsoever with the SCJP exam.
But then, neither does the majority of what's posted in that forum...Well, it seems to me the OP is asking about what to expect from the SCJP.
Do you mean that nothing is to be expected from the SCJP so to ask about that is an unrelated question?

Code evaluation on the SCJP exam

I've been studying for the SCJP exam, and I'm just about ready to take the practice exam. Just for fun, I've been tinkering around with some of the free practice exams online. For sure, some seem better than others. But messing with them has made me wonder about two things:
1. Approximately what percentage of the real exam is code evaluation (i.e. here's the code > does it compile > does it throw a runtime error > what is the output )?
2. On all of the practice exams, you conceivably could copy the code into a text editor, compile it and execute it to determine the output. Surely on the real exam, they have guarded against this by painting the code into an applet or something to prevent copying/pasting, right? Or do they just figure that the time penalty of copying/pasting will weed out those who don't know their stuff?
Thanks for your answers.
Best,
Tom

impossible to say. The questions are selected at random from a pool of all available questions (though I suspect there's a mechanism in there to guarantee some sort of reasonable mix between the exam topics).
In theory they could all be of the same type, or none.

The exam computer is designed such that you can't switch applications.
You have the text of the question, the space to select your answer, and some buttons (next, previous, ready, etc.).
You have nothing at your disposal apart from your brain, a pen or pencil, and a few sheets of blank paper (and the pen and paper are provided to you and have to be turned in when you leave, it's your responsibility to provide the brain).

Did Any One Completed SCJP 6 Exam ????
Regards
Vijay

Yes. SCJP 6 Books are available in market
Better you go and get it from your nearby BookShop.
Dont Use dumps.. Then there is no value even if you get 100% marks in SCJP by using Dumps.
Intend is not to pass the Exam. To Improve your Knowledge.
Sorry , i meant anything wrong.

CLAD Sample Exam 1, question 2:

CLAD Sample Exam 1, question 2: can a wire be used to pass date between 2 llps that are intended to be runn in parallel? CLAD Sample exam1 provides the following url as an answer: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9393 . This doesn’t explain the answer. Please provide a correct explanation.

Is that the actual wording? Why can't they make these questions less
ambiguous? Just because you intend for the loops to run in parallel doesn't mean they actually do it. BUT, the data will still be passed between the loops eventually, so technically, YES, a wire can be used. Why didn't the question just say: "two loops that ARE running in parallel"?
The wording actually seems to be pretty decent. Two loops cannot be running in parallel if there is a wire running between them. The situation you describe--where one loop stops, data is passed, then the other loop begins--does NOT describe two loops running in parallel, rather two loops running sequentially.
When the question says "intends", it asks you to play the part of the designer of the code: if you want to have data passed between two loops, how would you design that? The answer is certainly not a wire.
True, but the fact that we're even discussing the semantics proves that it's confusing. I'm sure NI has a tough time coming up with multiple CLAD versions covering essentially the same questions but those questions should be testing for knowledge of LabVIEW, not English Language. A test taker should be able to focus on the what a question is asking and not how it's being asked.

New price of scjp exam

Hi All,
I have pay for scjp exam.but today, the exam center call me and said new price of the exam is *$300* is it true. can any one tell me. plzzz help
Thank you

you have to remember that the price is calculated in local currency, and with changing exchange rates that can mean that the dollar price fluctuates (and with the rapidly sinking dollar, that at the moment means the dollar price will go up even if the local price stays the same).
For example the price here is 250 Euro (inc taxes), and has been for years.
But when that price was set the Euro was $1, now it's almost $1.50.
So in dollars the price has gone up from $250 to (by now) about $370.

[scjp exam] garbage collection questions

can someone please post me some garbage collection questions + correct answers, because i've taken the SCJP test again and i didn't passed it again. A co-worker of mine also didn't passed either.
(We both got 0% on Garbage Collection every time) And i really thought i had it correct the last time.
So please can someone mail/post me some garbage collection questions? thanks!

The garbage collector collects unreachable objects.
You have no control over when the objects are
collected, but there is a guarantee that all
unreachable objects will be collected before an
OutOfMemoryError is thorwn.Exactly my thoughts...
That's it. It really is just that simple. I scored 94%
on the Programmer's Exam, with 100% in the garbage
collection section.Hmm i got 54% last exam i took. I really begin to doubt about myself, because i find the questions on the exam so tricky.. Last book was Exam Cram (Java), and i found this a very nice and good book to study for the exam. Garbage collection is just one question, so it's either 0% or 100%. So far it hasn't gone anything higher then 0% with me.
Here are some questions:
1. When is the Object first available for garbage
collection (when does it become unreachable)?
Object o = new Object();
Object p = o;
o = null;
p = null;p = null; -> available for gc.
2. When is the Object first available for garbage
collection?
Object o = new Object();
Vector v = new Vector();
v.add(o);
o = null;
v = null;v = null; -> available for gc.
3. Can the Vectors be garbage collected at the end of
this code?
Vector v = new Vector();
Vector w = new Vector();
v.add(w);
w.add(v);
v = null;
w = null;yes
Now i have a question:
public int foo {
Integer result = new Integer(10);
result = null;
return result;
when is result available for gc?
