What does certification involve?

Passing the Sun Certified Java Programmer exam involves answering a series of multiple choice questions. Sound easy enough? There's a little more to it though - you must select ALL the right answers, without missing any or adding extra ones. Often the difference between one answer and another is subtle, and it requires a good understanding of the language and the base Java APIs. There's no reference material allowed, and to make it even tougher, a score of 70% or over is required to pass.

The second level of certification involves an additional programming task. You'll be given specifications, and have to implement the system (involving actual coding). This involves a more extensive coverage of the Java APIs, but there's often more than one way to solve a problem.
