Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 6 Programmer exam passed!


Yes, that's it! On the 6th of September I made it with 95% score. Not bad at all! It means 57 out of 60 questions answered correctly! Frankly speaking, the exam didn't seem to be easy - many questions required me to think deeply not as it was with the Whizlabs' tests. Even though, I had had some spare time left at the end to review all the questions and afterwards could hit the magic button "end" which surprisingly... ended the exam! But don't worry! The fact that I passed the exam doesn't mean that I will stop posting the articles related to it. I have a list of topics that I want to bring up here and after my short holidays that I'm on right now I will resume writing! I will also say something more about my scores of the exam and add some important notes that might be helpful for other people preparing to become certified!

  3. Hi Jan,

    I am glad to see your marvelous posts ,really thankful to you for writing down important instructions.I am a newbie Java Developer just finished my engineering. I am looking forward to go for certification but i am confused to go whether for Oracle Certified Associate ,Java SE/SE6 or to go directly to Oracle Certified Professional .I know the basics of Java but if you guide i can work harder for that professional certification.

  4. Hi Vivek!

    Thanks for your kind words about the blog. Much appreciated.

    As for the certification, I would go straight for the OCP. I don't think that OCA has a great value on the job market, it would be more just for yourself. Still, you should check what is it worth on the market you are targeting. I presume it is India but in this case I can't tell you!

    Best, Jan.
