I have already answered some FAQ's on SCJP 1.5 certification examination in my previous blog entry. Just wanted to share some more information on the exam that i got to know.
There are 7 sections in the exam with equal weightage to each :
- Declarations, Initialization and Scoping
- Flow Control
- API Contents
- Concurrency
- OO Concepts
- Collections / Generics
- Fundamentals
The exam consists of 72 MCQ's in total and you are given time of 3 hours to solve them. More than enough, I say.
In Delhi, there are a few prometric test centers where you can take the test. The one i know about, is NIIT Limited, located at P-17/90, Madras Hotel Complex, Connaught Place. It is located near the popular Sarvana Bhawan and McDonalds, so you won't be having much trouble finding it. You can also call them on 011-41516458 to know more.
The examination costs about Rs. 7000/- as of now but most of the times they (NIIT people) offer some kind of discount vouchers, so don't forget to ask for one. You might just get lucky. Otherwise also, the amount's not much really if you look at the advantages of being a SCJP certified professional.
