I'm a bit worried about LocalDate/LocalDateTime and Stringbuilder API.
From your experience can I do the 1z0-808? Do I have a chance?

Thanks

What was your score on the last full test that you took on first attempt? That score is a lot more important that the average to determine how well are you prepared.

So far I've only taken each of the Enthuware Mock Exams once, these are my scores per exam:

Foundation Test: 69%
Test 1: 79%
Test 2: 77%
Test 3: 70%
Test 4: 88%
Test 5: 71%
Test 6: 88%
Test 7: 72%
Test 8: 84%
Unique Test 1: 84%
Unique Test 2: 88%

My concern is, as previously described, the API's LocalDate/LocalDateTime and Stringbuilder, Stringbuilder until I still have a little more control, because I already programmed a lot in java, but LocalDate is a weak point.

I am also concerned with discursive questions like:
"
Question-Identify correct statements about Java exceptions.
I-Errors and its subclasses are meant for situations from...
"
Not because of knowledge, in this case, but because of the question of English, despite trying to avoid it, I think I used google translator in 20% of the questions of this type.

Anyway, guys, I would like some guidance from you, take a risk, or focus a little more on the mistakes? I'm in a bit of a hurry to take the exam because I already have a job offer with better conditions.

Thanks for everyone's help

If you scored 84% and 88% in the last 2 unique tests in first attempt, then it is a good sign. You are sufficiently prepared.
Don't worry too much about the LocalDate related questions. Just go over those questions and their explanations in Leitner mode and take the exam.

Regarding English language issues, most of the questions in the real are written in clear English. There are not too many questions that are pure test. Most of the questions have some code, so that makes the question less ambiguous.

Don't worry. Take the exam.

All the best!
