Q1: Why get
certified? Will I get a job if I get Certified?
The Sun Certified Java Programmer Certification presents you with
the opportunity to prove to your prospective (or current) employer
"How well
do you know the language? ", rather than "How many years
have you used it?"
Will you get job offers as soon as you get certified ?... You never
know... It
largely depends on what is your employer seeking. Nevertheless, this
certification provides you with a certain level of credibility in the
absence of any major Java development experience and that should
motivate
you enough to start studying for the examination. more>>
Q2:
Approximately how many certified Java programmers are there on earth?
Your guess is as good as mine. One would expect though that SUN would
publish this figures, but I have not found such information anywhere
on SUN's website.

any related Java Certifications other than the one offered by SUN(TM).
There are atleast three vendors who offer the certification, other
than the one offered by SUN. These are (1) Brainbench

Q4: Are there any pre-requisites for appearing for the SCJP exam?
There is no pre-requisite to appear for the exam, other than knowing
Java language concepts and syntax thoroughly.

Q6: Can I repeat the exam, if I fail in my first attempt?
If you have already taken an exam and need to schedule a re-take of
the same exam, will need to wait a two (2) week period before taking

exam again.
Q7: What will I get after I pass the Certification?
Candidates passing the exam will receive a temporary certificate

grade, score, and feedback on your performance by categories or

to the SUN's central database, a permanent certificate is dispatched to the
candidate.

The certificate will not have any of the above.
