Jimage question was there, at least 5-6 enum, 5-6 concurrency, 5-6 streams. And nearly all the questions that ask something like "implement this stream in line 1" have 6 options. I think this is something new, normally they have lss options.
Hello, I just failed the 830 exam with 62% out of the required 68%. I missed 3 right answers to pass it...
I confirm giginar rearlier post. I would be honest, the exam was way tougher that all the tests I used for training on Enthuware. After the first 10 questions, I had the feeling it was going to be tough. You skip a question and the next one contains more code... LOL
To clarify, It has nothing to do your tests. Your tests are already difficult and they are the better material available currently to prepare the exam. I got 95+ % on the 2 previous exams I passed on Java with your mock exams. No doubt about that. But if I had to compare this java 21 one to your tests, I would say there were 10 "Real Brainer", 20 Very tough, 10 tough and 10 easy.
I got at least 50% of the question containing long code in the presentation with at least 4-6 choices containing code to analyse. I skipped a lot to review later and there was very few questions about module/date/switch/Try/Concurrency and even nothing on VirtualThread (which is stable feature from java 21!!!). They were intensively on Stream api, OOP and those mind blowing arithmetic operations in multiple nested loops. Jimage was also there. Most of them were about finding the little something in all the lines of code that would eliminate a choice. Each choice would include topics on record/inheritence/overloading/static/initializer/contructor and the issue could be anywhere... So I had to review them carefully each time...
I dont remember having sweat this much in an exam... LOL!
