I"m guessing a few months for the OCAJP 8. (They haven't even posted when the beta ends yet.) They haven't even announced objectives for the OCPJP 8 so that one is even further out.

Tiberius Marius wrote: Third question is concerning the number of questions and the time , and this question is mostly directed at Jeanne. OCA 8 has about double the current number of questions and a reduced time of 60 sec per question. To be honest there is no way i can answer 20+ lines of code questions in less then 1 min , i lack the experience to go trough code that fast . Do you think the format has changed too for those questions making them less time intensive then OCA 7 ?

Tina Smith wrote:For those who have taken the Java 8 exam, what were your impressions on difficulty level compared to the Java 7 exam? I am re-familiarizing myself with new Java 8 features this weekend and planning on writing the exam on Monday.
I remember the OCJA 7 (beta) exam I wrote looked like a straightforward test of knowledge, no real trick questions (which surprised me. There were trick questions on my OCJP 7).
