| JCertify 3.0 | Java 2 | Definitely worth the money, especially if you have your own corporate budget! | Probably more difficult than the actual SCJP examp. | Click here for price. | |

| Jxam (v1.81) | Java 2 | 170 | So far best one I've tried, (and keep on using). You can tell a lot of time went into developing this, good job. The questions seem challenging and explainations are given for incorrect answers. Also, Jxam lets us choose how many questions you want on the mock exam, up to 59 for a full test. I've found this extremely useful when trying sneak in a quick 15-20 minute study session. Finally, see the Cost section, it's free. | It's bombed my JVM more than once on my Toshiba, but didn't have any problems on my old ThinkPad. Also, after a while, like most other exams, you see the same questions come up again and again. Haven't found away to get more questions into it's database. | Free |
| The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide Test Engine | Java 2 | ? | Not a bad simulation, has good explainations. | Has the questions from the back of each chapter, so they might look familiar. | Comes with The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide |
| Jargon | 1.1, Java 2? | 144 | Has challenging questions and even has direct entry questions like "How do you write ## in octal format?" Also, you can specify the number of questions in an exam, but only through passed through as an argument. Has the ability to input your own questions, see run.bat after installing. | Doesn't have explaination for all questions. Also, looks like future versions will let you select which topics to be tested on. Wish summary section allowed you to jump to the questions you got run, only provides you with a list of all questions indicating what you answered and what the correct answer should be. | Free |
| JDCert | 1.1, Java 2 | 65 for 1.1, 66 for Java 2 | Looks like you can provide your own questions, but doesn't explain how. | Majority of explaination for wrong answers are: "No explanation available"
Looks like version is "Work in progress" |
Free, you get what you pay for on this one. |
