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.
Spring Boot — the 66 you got wrong · 45 drills
Built from the Boot topic bank and every Boot miss across nine papers. Actuator is 29 of the 66 — 44%, and the enabled vs exposed distinction alone has cost marks in four consecutive papers. Three master tables (exposure, the endpoint roster, health codes) cover most of it. Boot is now the weakest section at 56%.
Spring MVC — the 21 you got wrong · 30 drills
Built from the MVC topic bank and every MVC miss across nine papers, organised by concept. Return types alone are 7 of the 21 — the same question has cost marks in attempts #4, #6, #8, #9 and twice in the bank. Three master tables (return types, the two pipelines, binding + status codes) cover most of it. MVC is your weakest section at 57%.
Data Management — the 34 you got wrong · 44 drills
Built from the 416-question topic bank and organised by sub-topic. 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 has since recovered to 81%, its best since attempt #4.
