What Candidates Ask About the SUN 310-879 Exam

Can you give me an overview of the 310-879 exam?

The SUN Certified System Support Engineer exam (code: 310-879) is the official SUN exam that leads to the Sun Certified System Support Engineer certification. It sits at the Specialist level of the SUN certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as Sun Certified Senior System Support Engineer (310-880). Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by SUN itself, which is why the 310-879 credential keeps showing up in job postings.

How many questions are in the 310-879 exam, and how long does it take?

The SUN Certified System Support Engineer exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 120. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Dumpkiller test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.
