I paid and registered to take the first part of SCEA (Sun Certified Enterprise Architect) exam. Even I have been studing for the past couple of months and everything was almost OK!
But there was a problem since then inside me......I wasn't happy!!
I remember I always hated exams and I had forgotten this since my graduation in 2003. Giving an exam is totally different from the way I study and work. I can never memorise things for an exam. I might remember many things in my day to day work from my studies,etc but I have not memorised them; They just come from practice or focus.
I hate reading and memorizing things and repeating them in an exam. This is just stupid in my point of view. So I changed my mind and canceled the exam and now I feel much happier!
Now when reading patterns I read them for myself not for the sake of exam and it is more enjoyable!!
Unfortunately Sun does not refund my money but it doesn't matter. It made me read some more books!
