Starting out

[Coltraine12]

So, I just started programming with Java and maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but still. My question is this: how do I recall an earlier line? This is what I have as my code so far:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class SimpleTest
{

public static void main(String [] a)
{
Scanner kbd = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("This program is a simple test.");
System.out.println("Please imput your name:");
String name = kbd.nextLine ();
System.out.println("Hello " +name+ " Are you ready to take the test?");
String ans1 = kbd.nextLine ();
if (ans1.equals ("Yes"))
System.out.println("good, lets begin.");
else if (ans1.equals ("No"))
System.out.println("Ok, please come back when you are ready.");
else if (ans1.equals ("yes"))
System.out.println("good, lets begin.");
else if (ans1.equals ("no"))
System.out.println("Ok, please come back when you are ready.");
else
System.out.println("I'm sorry, " +ans1+ " is not a recognizable command. Please answer with either Yes or No");
}

}

What I want to do, specifically, is to have the last line redirect back to the "are you ready to take the test?" line.

You'd normally use a loop:

do
   prompt user
   get input from user
while input invalid
