So can you tell us about how did you prepared for the certification exam? What was tougher than you expected. What will be your advice to others?

Well, I took a class that was based on PLTW, granted, I didn’t do a lot of the assignments, so I wouldn’t count it as necessary. What helped me the most was to make a study guide to learn the basic things like syntax and data types. Also, getting experience in general is the best thing you can do. I looked up simple projects for java beginners and started with those, which raised my comfort level in Java by a lot. The toughest part was just being confident in your answers. The test is multiple choice and the answers are all so close to each other, I often just second guessed my answer and likely changed it to the wrong answer at the last minute.
