The exam itself wasn&#8217;t particularly difficult, but theres a lot of things you can get tested on that you&#8217;ll rarely use in everyday development.

I&#8217;ve been pretty busy with a new project at work, and I&#8217;m also preparing to (finally) sit my SCJP at the end of November, so I haven&#8217;t had any time to write any android tutorials.
