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...

Old is Gold: Vaitheeswaran Koil

My parent’s Shastiapthapoorthi just happened on 8th Oct at Thirukadaiyur, Amritaghateswarar – Abirami Temple , we were so glad that all poojai took place on Nandhi mandapam. My scheduled next stop was my uncle home for virunthu . But after getting boosted with abundant spiritual aura can’t stop myself from stopping for Vaitheeswaran koil on the way, that evening along with my wife experienced the glory of good old times.   Though Vaithyanatha swamy(Lord Shiva as Lingam) is the prime deity, Muthukumaraswamy stole the day, the panchaloga figurine of Lord Murugan in the shrine. Its Urchavar as its referred here since the figure is movable and comes out of the mandapam on special occasions. We went inside temple purified ourselves with holy water in temple pond, worshiped goddess Thaiyal Nayagi then stood in front of Lord Shiva for a very long time, but no poojari-iyer dropped by I’m not sure what special occasion it is on 08-Oct-13, as we saw many move towards closed doors of parti...

Sleeping to sickness

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder that most people think of when someone says they have trouble sleeping, pop culture has put such spin on it. But there are other disorders too like sleep deprivation (not enough sleep), sleep apnea (snoring/breathing trouble while sleeping, caused by reduced oxygen level); there are also other terrors like acting out dreams in the physical world, awake but muscles are paralysed, teeth grinding and shouting out dreams. But, I'm suffering from the most common form of sleep disorder of the 21st century; I always wake up tired, no it is not hypersomnia. This post is going to be sort of self-shaming one, in order to change my habit. Confession: I'm a big YouTube consumer, I consume too much to even remember them all the next day even though I follow quality contents still they are useless if I forget them all. Almost all of the channels I follow hosts, education, science, history, general health, environment, computer and related stuff; my ...

Good to know about Ancestry

Probably I would have been in shorts and ungodly shirt when I last visited my native, 12 years back. All these years it has been don't worry about native years, because I'm in great confusion on which is my native 😅 So how can I relate this place to me? My Grandfather Palaniappa Pillai's hometown. My  Father's Paternal Grandfather,  Mr.Chokalingam Pillai  got settled into Kumarapuram a village next to T isaiyanvilai, Thirunelveli. We were the affluent family from upper-caste Saiva Pillai, so we received a lot of respect, the family is referred to as 'Kanapillai kudumbam' and our home is referred to as 'Panna veedu'. More like 90's Tamil movies when elders from my family cross the street people used to remove slippers and keep their towel in the armpit or they tie it around the hip. It didn't last long just two generations,✌  a victory for equality! Even now the respect has not come down but idiotic 'remove chappal' rituals are skippe...
