This is my mock Exam No 1 based on the Objectives for the Sun Java Programmers Exam. It was created by Marcus
Green (mail@marcusgreen.co.uk) and may be freely distributed so long as it is unmodified. Please email me if you
have any corrections or comments, but please read this document first
http://www.jchq.net/homepage/getanswers.htm.
If you obtained this exam from some other source please email me to let me know and check out the latest version at
http://www.jchq.net
It really does come with answers
Yes, this is a long document (around 35 pages if you were to print it out), if you cannot see the answers then you
have not got the entire document, try reloading it untill you can see the answer to Question 60 and the words "End
of document";. The answers contain references to approximately which objective the question relates to. If you have
a query about any of these questions, please, please include the full answer with the question.
Why not discuss this exam with other people ?
You can post a message on the discussion forum at http://www.jchq.net/discus You could also send me your
question but I get heaps of email and my answer is likely to be slow and terse.
How does this compare with the real thing?
As of 5 Oct 2000 the question format has changed very slightly. You will now get more questions that include
snippets (though the ratio may be similar to this mock exam). Each question will also tell you how many of the
options you need to pick. You can read more about these revisions at http://www.jchq.net/faq/ExamUpdate.htm.
You should assume that the real thing will be harder though many people have told me that they get similar marks
in the real thing to my exams. Take a look at the "how jchq helped me" forum at http://www.jchq.net/discus to find
how other people find the real exam and this material.
Where can you find other Mock Exams?
Check out my FAQ at http://www.jchq.net/faq/jcertfaq.htm for links to other mock exams You will find links to
many good mock exams that add up to hundreds of questions. You can check out my second mock exam that
contains 60 question at http://www.jchq.net/mockexams/exam2.htm
If you think you have found an error:-
Please include which exam you are referring to, ie 1 or 2 (and maybe soon 3)

Mock Java Certification Exam
Read the questions carefully
I have tried to make the questions unambiguous (the meaning should be obvious), but make sure you have read what
I have written not what you think I might have written. Thus if it says "Classes can be declared with the private
modifier ", it means It is possible to declare a class with the private modifier and not that all classes in all situations
can be declared as private. Each question may have one or more correct Answers.
Questions
Question 1)
Which of the following lines will compile without warning or error.
1) float f=1.3;
2) char c="a";
