Question 1:
------------
Is really EJB 2.0, 2.1 that different from EJB 3.0?
Yes, they are much different, EJB 3.0 is realllllllllllllly much easier in development, code is much cleaner, utilize J2SE 5 annotation making developer life much more simpler, and other beautiful features. Lots of concepts has been changed, new POJO based ORM is introduced -more likely related to Hibernate-. The bottom line EJB architect took the decision to enhance for a lot of drawbacks in EJB 2.0
Question 2:
------------
"TO SCBCD 1.3 OR TO SCBCD 5", that's the question!!
It is all based on what you want, if it is all technical decision, what I expect is that EJB 2.0 will die soon ( 2 years maximum ) unless you are maintaining old code or product. EJB 2 has a lot of drawbacks thats why it changed a lot in the new version (Although EJB 3.0 still supports backward compatibility).
If you just need a SCBCD logo on your CV, go for SCBCD 1.3 and just study EJB head first book.
If you never made any EJB programming and looking forward to use it in your career, I think EJB 3.0 is the best choice for you.
Question 3:
------------
How long it takes in preparation for SCBCD 5?
Most posting says around 4 - 6 months, and I agree for this period for new comer to EJB.
Question 4:
------------
What is the recommended study methedology?
For new comers:
Start reading about EJB 3 not for the exam but to educate yourself, and have handson this technology as, EJB in general is new concept to any Java developer who didn't work with distributed objects before. So, start by navigating the Internet looking for EJB 3 tutorials, they are lots and easily reachable, if the tutorial site doesn't mention how to prepare your environment, just go for http://java.boot.by/scbcd5-guide/apa.html having step by step to build your environment. I think this step will take you 2 months with 3 hours daily studying. If you need a book - I have made a look at 2 books only "Mastering EJB 3.0 4thEdition (free)", and "OReilly Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 5th Edition" - from my opinion Orielly is better, but none of them is targeting the exam, they are targeting EJB 3 is general, thats why you will find sometimes more information than exam requires in certain topics, and sometimes less information than exam requires. I think other books for EJB 3 is there in the market and you can just view the reviews in amazon for each book before buying one to use.
When you pass this period for studying, check if book is available for the exam, as till now there is not , if it is the case, use "Mikalai Zaikin" notes to be basis of the study instead of reading all the specs -I'm not saying i covers 100% all the topics as some sections are empty, but it is enough to pass with high score-. While studying from notes, please take your own notes asside to be the basis of your study in the last 2 days before your scheduled exam, as the notes itself is around 235 pages needing more time to review before exam.
Question 5:
------------
What it takes to pass the exam?
a) Handson EJB 3.0
b) Specification, or "Mikalai Zaikin" notes (http://java.boot.by/scbcd5-guide/).
What are available books, notes, & mock exams?
Books: All available books are for EJB 3 in general, none exists for certification (The exam 310-091 officially announced March 2007), all people are dreaming for "Head First EJB 3.0" and they are right; anyone read Head first for any series not just the last SCBCD 1.3 will enjoy the study time, and expected to pass with high score
Notes: best is "Mikalai Zaikin" notes -I really admire this guy- the notes is mainly collecting from specs the needed sections only for exam which minimize your effort in reading ( 562 + 256 + 59 pages for the specs to 235 pages for the notes some sections are missing denoted by EMPTY, if you want you can discover the rest for yourself, but these sections are few.
Mock exams: I didn't find till the moment I go the exam, the only samples I could get is the free 10 sample questions officially supplied by SUN http://www.sun.com/training/certification/resources/epractice.html the free edition.
You will find some other posting telling you that ( Transaction, Exceptions, Security, Message driven bean ) are same as EJB 1.3 and you can use head first book for this, I will agree with only 50% to this; as most of exam use annotations which is not found in EJB 1.3, also I sometimes find some few changes in these topics thats why I don't recommend this way as might cause confusion.
Question 7:
------------
What is the type of questins?
a) Single choice (radio buttons)
b) Multiple choice ( checkboxes ), the real nice thing is that, the questions tells you how many answers are right, by saying "Select 2 answers", or "Select 3 answers" rarely found "Select 4 answers".
c) Some question have button to open new window having some long code, but this happened once for me.
d) I have seen some posting saying, drag & drop, but I didn't have any in my exam.
e) Number of choices for a question ranges from 4 to 6
Question 8:
------------
What was the question pattern (how many questions per area) in exam?
You will find old postings for the SCBCD beta exam with some pattern, but I tried the real exam it is nearly distributed over all the objectives, and I really had too many transaction questions, for me entity were few, although posting for beta exam says that nearly 50% about entities. Maybe SUN was collecting more info about Enities as new POJO concept and needed to collect more info. The bottom line here is to cover all topics.
Question 9:
------------
What is the difficulty level of exam?
I was really expecting the exam to be harder, but if I to rate the exam (low 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 high) based on difficulty, I will guess between 3 & 4
