I'm always excited to see a new text on OCA/OCP Java 7 exams. I'm interested in the difficulty of the sample exam questions. Relative to the sources most people recommend on this site (largely being Gupta, Enthuware, and the Oracle website), how do the exams in Sierra & Bates compare? Also, because Sierra & Bates covers both OCA and OCP, is one of the exams under focus more than the other? Thank you!

Hey Jeffrey,

The book is in two parts and for each Oracle exam (OCA and OCP), the CD has two master exams, for a total of four exams.

Over the years our goal has been to make mock questions that are a bit harder than what's on the real exam. We stuck with that goal for this edition - we hope we achieved it

I can't really compare our questions to the others you mentioned.
