Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Now that's interesting. I went to PearsonVue and it lists August 15th as the first date that the local
testing center has an appointment for that exam. I didn't go further as I'm already OCP 8 certified (from the upgrade exam). The beta ended in mid-June. I wouldn't expect the exam to be available in mid-August. mid-Sept yes, but not mid-August.
My point in the previous paragraph is that I recommend checking the exam actually launched a little before you take the exam!
