Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - really good book
this book is really good. I can recommend it. It is a fantastic preparation for the exam and even after the exam you can use it.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good but could be lighter and more concise, please revise
This a good book but not a great book. I passed the SCJP 5 exam after using this book and practicing using WhizzLabs mock exams which I would also recommend and found very necessary.

The book could be at least 100 pages lighter simply by not repeating the exercise questions in the answers section after each chapter. Cheesy attempts to lighten up the book with humour were just plain irritating, waste of paper and should be removed. The extra weight is not forgiven when you've lugged the book around in a laptop bag on a train. Less is definitely more. Having said that the end of chapter questions are very thought provoking and really do test your understanding. I would say these questions are generally harder than the exam but ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Passed easily with this book
Achieved score of over 90% in my SCJP exam using this book alone. Didn't even use the CD - found the book's content and practice questions sufficient. The book is extremely thorough and well written, even mildly amusing in places which helps when some of the topics are such heavy going. Highly recommend to anyone preparing for the SCJP exam - it's all you'll need!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It got me through!!!
I seriously recommend this book. It depends on your experience how hard you will have to study it but I passed my exam today and that is really the point isn't it. I found the book easy going and the practise questions and practise exams on the CD were really helpful. I do think that you have to understand that reading won't be enough, you actually have to write programs and the more you write the better you will do.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - could do better
As probably already mentioned in lots of other reviews, yes, this is written by the people who write the exam, yes it does contain all the topics in the exam and yes it does contain a whole raft of jokes that aren't funny, spoil the flow of the book and should be removed.

What people seem to ignore is that the book in parts is very good but in other parts it is dreadful. It is supposed to be teaching everything about the exam but it is ambiguous, there are large chunks of vital information that is missed, and some chapters only describe the finer points of chapter's topic in the answer to the end of chapter lesson after you get it wrong because it wasn't described anywhere else!

If I could go back, I'd buy a different ... Read More:
