    I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if this is in the wrong place but I have a second interview coming up on Thursday for a graduate Java developer position and this will be a 45 technical test.
    I was already asked some questions in the phone interview but I was wondering if anyone could give me ideas on where to brush up on based on the job spec. I really want the job and nerves affect me so want to be well prepared.

    Thanks in advance

    Look up glassdoor for some sample questions (if the company is well known). Google "interview questions for NAME_OF_COMPANY". Most companies ask about interfaces, singletons, OOP practices, means of the keywords "private","protected" etc.. If you have a decent knowledge of Java you will be grand. They know you are a graduate and that you don't know it all.

    Thanks for the reply, can't find anything on glassdoor about them, already had a look. I was asked about interfaces and abstract classes on the phone so I'd imagine that would be a good place to start.

    There are lots of good websites that give Java technical interview questions. From my experiece these questions are usually basic Java questions - interfaces,abstract classes, keywords, polymorphism etc. as well as actually doing some coding(on paper) of fairly simple programming problems - how to reverse a string without using the reverse method supplied etc.

    Given that the job description mentions MySQL and XML they may ask some basic SQL queries and possibly how to form some XML.
