It's commonly known (thanks to people sharing their experiences on the OcajpWallOfFame) that Enthuware mock exams are more difficult than the actual OCA exam. Regarding the 2 OCA practice exams, this kind of information is not available, so it's harder to know. But one thing is definitely true: in the K&B7 practice exams not all questions mention the number of correct answers (like on the actual exam). So that often makes the questions (a little) harder.

It seems it will not be released by the end of January 2016. And with a book release, there might always been some delay as well which you have to take into account. And unfortunately buying the previous edition of this book won't help you, because it's covering the OCPJP6 exam which covers much more advanced topics than the OCAJP7.
Hope it helps!
