SCJP Studying problem
Hello all,
I am currently studying for the SCJP, however I am finding a MAJOR problem with studying. During the reading of the chapters, I manage to understand exectly what the book explains. I also experiment and try out things, however, when I come to make the small exam that each chapter offers, I get a very low mark. I would like to know if this is a typical thing that happens to everyone or if its me. Like for example.. I know an abstract class must be marked abstract and each method which is not going to be implemented must end with a semicolon and be marked abstract.... however I still manage to get the question wrong.. I feel I know the subject but during the exam, I flip.
Does this thing happen to any of you people? This is getting very boring and demotivating a lot!!
Thanks.. I need some CONSTRUCTIVE arguments or anything POSITIVE please :) (if you know what I mean hehe)

Learn to read and understand the questions as well as the material they cover.
Low scores if you know the subject under examination is almost always a result of not reading the question properly, either by being rushed (and thus not taking your time) or by a poor understanding of the language the questions are worded in (meaning English, not Java).
If you're also nervous (as you shouldn't be for a practice test in a book, but quite understandable during a real exam) things only get worse.
You're right !! I do tend to read fast however luckily I do understand the english language as if it's my mother language. I need to calm down a little because as you said, I know the subject, I don't make silly mistakes when I code a piece of program, but I DO make silly mistakes when answering a simple question...
THANKS :)
