Java Certification Resources

Due to the great interest in Java certifications, a number of web sites have sprung up. There are so many new ones that I am having to rebuild this list, so if your site does not appear here drop me a line wbrogden@bga.com

Free Mock Exams and Discussion Sites

• Marcus Green's Certification HQ
  

  Marcus has been running this site for almost as long as I have been running the LanWrights site. It includes mock exams, book reviews, an exam FAQ, discussion groups, and links to other related sites.

• JavaRanch Home Page.
  

  Test your Java skills with the Rules Roundup Game and discuss your certification concerns at JavaRanch. JavaRanch is also great for extensive discussion groups on non-certification topics such as, XML, Servlet/JSP, J2ME, and other Java related subjects. Many advanced programmers and book authors (including me!) hang out there to answer your questions. You might even win a free book in one of their frequent give-aways.

• Dan Chisholm's Mock Exams are well regarded. Exams devoted to single topics are handy if you are having trouble with a specific aspect of Java.
• Roseanne Zhang's very extensive FAQ for the SCJP exam. Roseanne is a long-time contributor to certification discussion groups.
• Levteck Site
  

  Huge list of mock exam sites, book reviews, study tips and news.

• A. K. Gupta's Java Certification Page
  

  A. K. Gupta has provided a nice applet emulating the real certification exam, study notes, suggestions and links.

Commercial Mock Exams and Training Materials

• Whizlabs has exam simulators and support for SCJP and a number of other certifications.
• JCertify has exam simulators and training materials from many well regarded authors.
