The 310-055 exam, officially titled Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform.SE 5.0, is the qualifying test for the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 (SCJP 5.0) certification from Sun Microsystems, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Sun Certified Programmer for Java SE 6 (CX-310-065), Sun Certified Developer for Java Platform, Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE Programmer.

The SUN Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform.SE 5.0 exam gives you 175 minutes to work through 72 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the ExamTorrent test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 59% (43 out of 72) to pass, and the official registration fee is USD 200. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the ExamTorrent practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.
