Hello,

This practice tests will help you to check your basic Java knowledge before passing official 1Z0-811 exam. Every example question here was checked, tested and explained by me. You can be sure about the answers, as each piece of code has been written in IDE and tested.

Passing this exam will give you first official Java certificate - Java Certified Foundations Associate. This exam is also Java version independent so it will be valid forever.

Please find additional information about this exam straight from the Oracle website:

This is a foundational level exam for those that have completed the Java Foundations, Java Fundamentals, Java Programming I training or the Java Coding and Concepts MOOC. Passing this exam gives the certification credential demonstrating your understanding of the Java programming language and concepts. And, that you know how to write and execute a Java program, work with the Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

• Compare how == differs between primitives and objects

• Compare two String objects by using the compareTo and equals methods

Using Looping Statements

• Use try and catch blocks

Arrays and ArrayLists

• Use a one-dimensional array

• Create and manipulate an ArrayList

• Traverse the elements of an ArrayList by using iterators and loops including the enhanced for loop

• Compare an array and an ArrayList

Classes and Constructors

• Create a new class including a main method

• Use the private modifier

• Describe the relationship between an object and its members

• Describe the difference between a class variable, an instance variable, and a local variable
