I have just read the chapter in the oracle tutorial and (responding to myself) the answer is yes. It there will be on the exam.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ ... dmeth.html

Still it's not included in this list of topics to be studied... http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ ... ml#threads

However in many SCJP mocks there are questions about wait and notify.. and I think also in the enthuware mock test ( I have still to start a serious mocking session, having already bought it though).

The official exam objectives mention, "Synchronize thread access to shared data". This includes wait/notify. So yes, it is covered.

HTH,

also higher level concurrency? e.g. semaphores, phasers, exchangers, countdownlatches... ?
Thanks in advance.

No, those are not.
