I want to echo CR, Welcome to the Ranch!

I bought the mock exams for Java 8 and I'm scoring about 80ish.
Because you've already run the race, I'd say go ahead and cross the finish line. It sounds like you are already meeting the threshold. If you are confident, then run, don't walk, to take the OCA 8 exam while the material is still fresh in your mind. Afterwards keeping in mind what CR says and/or if you like to keep your certs "fresh", you can then pursue
11 Part 2, or "just" stick with 8 OCPJP. Although afterwards, personally I would go with the former since it's "closer" to
Java 13.
