How to: SCJP / OCJP certification, best practice, chennai

Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer(OCP,JP) is the certification I’m gonna discuss in this post. This certification is offered by ORACLE prior to this Sun was offering it in the name SCJP, in a generic way I’m gonna refer this as OCJP.

Here I have given a list of FAQs that you can use.

1. What are the prerequisites or Should I have completed any other exam before this?
A: Not required. But it is good that you take mock exams available in various sites before facing the big challenge. You’ll face 60 questions within 150mins you have to answer them and score 61% to clear the exam (37 questions must be correct).


2. What is the best book for this exam?
A: I haven’t heard of a book for OCP,JP 1Z0-851 but there is book for SCJP 310-065 which is essentially the same exam but the name was changed once Oracle started to offer the exam. The book is authored by peoples who prepares the examination papers and patterns so they would be the best guide.


3. Is book enough for certification?
A: No Book is not enough it might give an outline of test and how to think but to master the exam book will not be enough we have to take a mock test, in the preface of the book they have mentioned some forum and website to look for.


4. Where can I find a mock test on this?
A: I’m giving here the two best sites; My favourite is javaranch.com, the rules round-up quiz will be very useful. There is also another site examcollection.com watch that space for the most updated paper also try coderanch.com, roseIndia.net, theserverside.com, java.net, java2s.com for sample coding and help from people who know java even better.


5. Where Can I take this test from? Is it possible to take it from home?
A: It is not possible to take test from home. Only approved Prometric centres / Person VUE centres can conduct this exam.


6. How much the voucher cost? Where can I buy it? What are the modes of payments available?
A: Right now it cost Rs.8014 but with tax, it will be high as Rs.9005. You can even buy it online but it is advised that you go to the centre you are planning to take an exam to better have an idea about the exam. You can make payment with almost all payment mode Cash/ Debit card/ Credit card. I bought the voucher and took the exam on the same day, same centre – NIIT(Above KVB bank), Adyar, Chennai.


7. How many days before the exam I have to schedule for it?
A: Voucher is valid for 239 days. You can schedule then and there, just step into the centre ask them to schedule and take it in 30 min.


8. Can I reschedule/cancel the exam?
Yes, you can reschedule or cancel the but One business day before the exam. But if try to do so less than 24 hours before the exam then you will lose your exam fee. You will not get the tax amount refunded even if you cancel before a business day so buy voucher only if you are sure to take an exam.


9. What are the essential proofs for the exam?
A: Have to carry 2 Id’s at least one must have your photo preferred that both have your signature. Preferred that one be our organization and other governments. But carry original, duplicates are not encouraged you’ll also be demanded photocopies of the Id proofs you are submitting.


Update: The certificate is retired now.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

Wings of Fire

Though tagged under review I’m going to try and bring the essence of the book, in no means I have the guts to write a review on a book that’s written on/by Dr APJ Adbul Kalam. Unlike regular biographies the book is filled with information and facts on Indian Space research straight from Dr Kalam’s diary, has very limited information on his personal life. From Preface of the book, we can understand Mr Arun Tiwari co-author of this book had brought up this idea to write a book and put it work. The book is organized in seven sections but the core content is put inside 4 sections – Orientation, Creation, Propitiation, and Contemplation. While the rest cover how and why this book formed and what it intends to convey. Dr Kalam being a spiritual person has quoted poems and lines from the Quran throughout the book. Orientation starts with the birth of the legend Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam in Rameswaram to Ashiaamma and Jainulabdeen, Dr.Kalam’s father is a humble boat owner a...

It doesn't have to be crazy at work

It doesn't have to be crazy at work, is the book with that title. The title is almost clickbait, but the gist is printed straight up on the cover of the book; they didn't even wait for the blurb. Jason Fried, the CEO and David Heinemeier Hansson, the CTO of 37Signals (formerly Basecamp) co-authored this book. This book was gifted to me by whom I'd consider to be a mentor because he caught me working "crazy at work", it is rare to see such people who are more inclined to see you as a person instead of a number, he seemed to have taken guidelines from this book to heart, and I'd say it is a good change in this cut-throat corporate. This is yet another book discussion, it is almost as if I am picking books to only learn and not review them; I'm not a reviewer, and I do not have any affiliate account setup that will earn me commission; I'm just going to discuss the ideas that I grasp from the books I read, on to the book The book is about how crazy the wor...

Setting up LAN with BSNL router AN 1020-21

An abstract overview for building a LAN is presented here, you can use the essence of article to build LAN with any other router you can lay your hands on. That said don't confuse modem with router, most routers are modem but a modem simply can't be router* Post is written in the hope that reader is equipped with basic knowledge about connecting line to splitter to router to device you want to use. It is assumed the your modem is configured for both wireless and ethernet access. My work requires that I interact daily with servers using putty or such terminal emulator, gradually I loved doing work the *nix way. This made me install Cygwin in almost every machine I use, thanks to MobaXTerm I need not do that anymore :) Off story on to TODO. 1. Connect the machines you want to use to Router That's all! Your router takes care of establishing (W)LAN Surprisingly simple to establish LAN, but the hard part is knowing how to use the systems connected in the network. Here...
