 [Kindle version] Awful formatting code, useless for studying, buy the paperback formatDec 19, 2010
By Fran Moreno
I love the quality of McGraw Hills books and specially the ones to prepare the Java Certify exams. I'm also a Kindle user with very good experiences reading books in Kindle versions.
But this one is completely useless. As you may know, Kindle books are actually a kind of HTML code (with labels like: '<'html'>', '<'body'>', '<'p'>', etc.). Well, Java ALSO use these kind of labels for its GENERIC parameters, so when you open this book in Kindle version you lose every generic argument (and there are a lot of them in the exams) because the book reader thinks they are HTML labels and don't show them.
This problem also affects to EVERY comparation expression which uses the characters ">" or "<" or ">=" or "<="...
So, as you can check in the Free Sample here in Amazon, in the question 9 of the Assestment Test 1, you can find a code fragment like this:
6. List c0 = new List();
7. List c1 = new ArrayList();
8. List c2 = new ArrayList();
9. List c3 = new ArrayList();
10. List c4 = new ArrayList();
11. ArrayList c5 = new ArrayList();
Where lines 7,8,9 and 10 supposedly are different, and you don't see it but all of those lines are actually using generic parameters
Big joke that Amazon is selling this as an exams book. I regret so much of buying this version. I'll try to get Amazon correct the book or give me a solution, because this is unacceptable.
UPDATE (2010-12-20): Amazon has contacted me and they will refund the money of the book. Anyway, I'll leave this reply here to let everyone who think on buying the Kindle version of the book know about this issue, and to encourage them to CHECK FIRST the free sample here in Amazon to see if they have already fixed it.
Thanks so much to Amazon and their quick response and to the author who paid attention on this the same moment I wrote it.

 lots and lots of hard practice questionsDec 05, 2010
By Jeanne Boyarsky
Disclosure: I was one of the tech reviewers of this book so I'm probably biased. I'm reviewing it anyway and saying *why* I liked things.
1) Lots of questions
2) Clear explanations
3) Advice on how to study
4) Similar looking problems that test different things so your brain doesn't memorize "the answer is 'a' as fast"
5) Harder questions than are on the test and a mapping to to how it would relate to an actual score.
Note this is not like the thick SCJP book that is a study guide to the exam. This book is virtually all practice exams.

 Not the Best Mock ExamsNov 16, 2011
By Kaydell
The mock exam questions in this book are much harder than the real exam. What I mean is that you can waste a lot of time with very tricky questions in this book or you could go to CertPal.com and get 3 mock exams that don't waste as much of your time.
Chapter 4 is the best part of this book. It contains a number of programming exercises.

Perfect study companionJan 13, 2011
By C. Simons
"cs"
There is no doubt that studying for the OCJP is a difficult task for most of us. The authors of this exam prep companion say it upfront, you must study, take practice exams, and write plenty of code in order to be prepared for the exam.
The OCJP practice exam guide is a perfect study companion; there are many questions that specifically target the types of topics you will find on the exam. The answers will provide the information you need to learn from your mistakes and become better prepared for the real exam.
I highly recommend this guide.

Handy BookDec 28, 2011
By Ashwini
A very useful book,before taking the exam. The questions in the book are tougher than what actually appears in the exam. The book covers every topic.The book helped me crack the actual exam with ease in the first attempt.
