Despite studying for the OCPJP7 exam, I decided to try a free online mock exam for the SCJP6 as there should be a significant area of overlap.

It quickly became apparent that there are some topics that I'd mastered for the OCA exam that I've become very rusty on e.g. 2 dim arrays, StringBuilder methods etc. These simply haven't come up in the course of my OCPJP7 studies.

Will there be any of these OCA specific questions in the OCPJP7 exam, or do I only have to worry about the explicitly stated OCPJP7 stuff?

While the OCA objectives aren't being tested specifically on the OCP, it is a pre-req and they can easily assume that knowledge. Which means you still need to know the concepts because they could be built on to ask harder questions. Plus some of the objectives overlap.

Plus, the OCA knowledge is basic Java that a "Java professional" should know anyway. Not something tricky.
