Very well said by karthik_rcs
yup, javaranch.com is really a gr8 forum to be in.. (Edit: hv u been a fan of the Head First series of Java etc.. by Kathy Sierra) ??

im one though...

---------------
Also to the Original Poster: U will hv to get urself a voucher b4 u can appear for the SCJP Exam the voucher will cost u Rs.3100 (+/-Rs.100), the voucher acts jus like a Hall Ticket and the validity of the voucer is 10 Months from the day u purchase it, so within tat period, u can plan to giv the scjp exam wenever u like but in ONLY ONE ATTEMPT..
Also, the
SCJP Exam on the JAVA Version 5 or ver 1.5 (its one and the same) is known as 310-055, and the latest and newest and a bit tough version is version 6 or 1.6 with the code 310-065
so if u search on google for mock exam papers (also knwn as "
SCJP 310-055 Dumps") u will get many materials online..
For study material, u can also refer to a book known as
HEAD FIRST: JAVA by Author Bert Bates and Kathy Sierra (Price Rs.450/-) or u can buy urself a SCJP Exam book for JAVA (version 5) wich will also include the HEAD FIRST Book in a CD (Price Rs.500/-) either of the books will help u out immensely..

-----------------
To Karthi2811: Well buddy, if u hv already given the SCJP exam and wanna do a course in Java still, u can move on to sum serious stuff known as Advance Java wich concentrates on Servlets and JSP, mind u this is NOT tat easy as the Core Java (SCJP)....
