Concept-first lessons, then relentless exam-shaped drilling. Predict → practice → prove.
Exam booked: 15 Aug 2026 · 60 questions · 130 min · pass = 300 scaled (~75–80%)
Written for Spring Framework 5.3 · Spring Boot 2.5 · Spring Data 2021.0
Every lesson is short and self-contained: it teaches one idea, shows the exact code Spring runs, then drops you into an interactive quiz using the real exam's wording. After each lesson you drill the matching pages of your Spring Professional Practice Questions book. The exam blueprint tracks every official objective; the glossary pins down the vocabulary.
Attempt #9 (26 Aug) → 44/60 (73%) · 16 fixes + drills · best yet, +2 to pass
Attempt #8 (25 Aug, 3rd) → 42/60 (70%) · 18 fixes + drills
Attempt #7 (25 Aug, 2nd) → 42/60 (70%) · 18 fixes + drills
Attempt #6 (25 Aug) → 35/60 (58%) · 25 fixes + drills
Attempt #5 (19 Aug) → 42/60 (70%) · 18 fixes + drills
Attempt #4 (18 Aug) → 43/60 (72%) · 17 fixes + drills · best yet
Attempt #3 (17 Aug) → 37/60 (62%) · 23 fixes + drills
Attempt #2 → 40/60 (67%) · 20 fixes + drills
Attempt #1 → 39/60 (65%) · 21 fixes + drills
Every missed question turned into a precise fact + an interactive drill — 176 facts across nine attempts. Attempt #9 is the best of the series at 73% — and the clock finally moved the right way: 29 → 42 minutes, misses down 18 → 16, three sections up. Spring Core broke its nine-attempt 71% ceiling, Testing held 100% twice running, Data reached 81%. What's left is small: Actuator has cost marks in four consecutive papers, and 9 of the 16 misses were facts an earlier review already taught. Pass = 76% — you need +2.
Data Management — the 34 you got wrong · 44 drills
Built from the 416-question topic bank and organised by sub-topic, not by question number. Transactions are 15 of the 34 — propagation alone is 5. Two master tables (the seven propagation levels, the isolation/anomaly grid) answer 8 of them. Data Management has swung 91% → 36% → 75% → 57% across four papers; this page is the whole topic in one pass.
