vincent owenJul 10 2024 - 18:41The Oracle Java SE 17 Developer (1Z0-829) certification exam was not difficult for me. My main challenge was dealing with anxiety. I felt it during the first few mock tests, but with regular practice, I overcame it. I realized that with enough knowledge, clearing the actual exam was manageable.
