As with any examination technique is an important aspect of the examination process. In most situations there are mock examinations that you can use to obtain experience. This is the intention of this Java Certification Mock Exam.

This mock exam is solely intended to help those intending to take Suns Certified Java Programmer 1.1 or Java 2 examination, practice the style of questions used in the examination. It should not be used as a way of learning Java nor should it be treated as a form of revision.

Note some care has been taken to ensure that the style of questions are the same as those in the actual exam, but that no questions from the examination are actually included. The style is based on one persons experience of taking the Java Certification examination and it should therefore not be assumed that this mock exam is an exact reflection of the actual exam.

This mock examination consists of 65 questions for the JDK 1.1 version and 66 for the Java 2 version, where as the actual exam speficiations are as follows:
The Java Platform JDK 1.1 Exam:

• Number of Questions: 60
• Type of Questions: multiple choice/short answer
• Score needed to pass: 70%
• Duration: 2 hours

The Java 2 Pltaform Exam:

• Number of Questions: 59
• Type of Questions: Multiple choice/short answer
• Score needed to pass: 71%
• Duration: 120 minutes

Just as in the actual examination a mixture of style of questions are included. These range between questions that require a single answer and those that require 1 or more answers. The former are indicated by:

• Select the most appropriate answer.

The latter by:

• Select all correct answers.

Note a question that has the above request may require only one option, it is for you to decide. However, if you do not identify all the options for that question, then you will score zero for that question. One free format question is included as an example of that style of questioning.

As in the actual exam you should not attempt to identify any trends relating to As, Bs or Cs. That is, do not assume that because the answer A has not appeared for a while there is a good chance that it will soon.

For the actual examination the pass mark is 70% and 71% you should therefore aim to achieve at least 46 correct answers in this mock examination.

The correct answers are give at the end of the examination.

Depending on how you started the mock exam you will either be presented with the 1.1 set of questions or the Java 2 questions (look at the title bar to confirm which you currently have. The file menu allows you to change between the two versions at any time - although you will have to restart the examination if you change the questions. At present the mock exam defaults to the 1.1 version, however you can specify the Java 2 version on the command line (java jdt.cert.JDCert 2.0) or by using the run2.bat (or run2.sh) command file.
