SCJP 1.4 Java Reserved Words Three-Minute Drill
May 20, 2007 – 3:15 pm
Because I program in several languages, it can be difficult to keep the list of reserved words in each language in the right bucket in my tiny little brain. So, I designed a three-minute drill while I was studying for the SCJP 1.4 Exam.
You can download it here, print it out and give it a shot!
I made several attempts to complete the drill in less than 3 minutes. Each time I encountered a mental block that prevented me from jotting down reserved words. One time I would forget “this”, another time I would forget “goto”.
After many iterations, I was finally able to find a pattern that helped me remember groups of words and before long and hours of practice, I was completing the drill in 2:40.
I know there are gurus out there who can beat that time handily, so I am making the drill available online in PDF form.
