Is the SCJA certification required before you can be SCJP certified?

Hello,my question is, do I have to be SCJA certified before taking the SCJP test?And if it is not required, do you suggest that I take SCJA anyway? It seems to me that if you're SCJP certified, then chances are you probably already know the Associate stuff.Thanks!

Ok, thanks. Does anyone suggest getting SCJA certified anyway?

no. Maybe if you are completely incapable of comprehending the curiculum for SCJP and a pathological certification hoarder/resume stuffer it would be something nice to have, but otherwise I see no reason to go for it.

You don't need to do SCJP before SCJA

One thing I've seen is people doing SCJP on 1.4, which is an easier exam than 1.5, with a lower passing score (52%).

Then, you get your SCJA on Java 1.5, which is the only version it is currently out on. Then you can brag about being certified by Sun on both Java 1.4 and Java 1.5. It looks great on a resume, especially if you're looking for a Java job.

As far as SCJA mock exams go, or even some free tutorials on how to get Sun Java Certified, check out the following links:
