I have been preparing for OCA
java 8 since more than 2 months. I am not full time java developer but since I write automation
testing scripts, I need to use most core Java concepts. I think I will require 15 more days before I feel ready for OCA 8 exam and after that next step will be OCP 8.
Since OCA exam covers mostly core java concepts and OCP exam covers advanced java concepts + design
patterns, how the preparation will be different for students like me who do not need to use advanced Java concepts in day to day work? What will be the difference between OCA 8 and OCP 8 exam preparation?
