Hi All,

I am new to the forum. I am looking forward for getting certified in OCPJP 8. I have background knowledge of 1.6.

Can someone suggest me, what is the best way to prepare for OCPJP8? Is the associate certificate mandatory for java 8 or we can directly prepare for java 8?
What is the best book available in the market to date?

Thanks,
Umulbaneen Hassan

Yes, the associate is a pre-req to the OCPJP 8. I wrote a book so I'm biased in book recommending .

Hi guys,

Digging this one up in order not to create new one. I currently hold OCPJP 6 cert (passed about year ago) thinking about getting OCPJP 8 myself. I can see that the "method of choice" is upgrading exam (1Z0-813) but I was thinking of going full-exam way (1Z0-809). Does this mean I have to get OCA first then go OCP? I'd like to pass just one of those, does this leave me with 1Z0-813 upgrade only?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Ranch!

You can either upgrade with 1Z0-813 (one exam) or take a full route (OCA + OCP = two exams).
