Because there is a huge difference between these 2 certifications (although both OCAJ) in study material (and required java knowledge).

For the NEW OCA exam, I believe that as of April 2012, there are several books in the process of being written, but that none are yet available. (If anyone knows of an OCA book that's available now, please add a post to this thread!)
So, in the meantime, until an OCA-specific book is available, you can use the chapters I mentioned earlier (from the K&B SCJP 6 book), to study for the OCA. As I said, those chapters aren't a perfect fit, but I'd guess that they're a 95% fit.
Please remember that any book written for the old SCJA is probably only about a 30% fit for the new OCA - the new OCA exam is REALLY, REALLY different than the old SCJA.

If you're studying for the Java 7 exam(s), and if you're not already certified, you now have to pass your OCA exam before you can attempt the OCP exam.
If you're studying for the OCA, our book (K&B 6), should give you pretty good coverage. If you study the following chapters from K&B 6 you should be in pretty good shape for the OCA:
chaps: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
chap 6 - the String and StringBuilder sections
chap 7 - the hashCode() and equals() sections, and only the ArrayList class.
chap 10
The chapters (and sections) listed above ARE NOT a perfect overview of everything you might encounter on the real exam, but I'd say they represent a 95% overlap. We'll be nailing down that last 5% over the next several weeks.
In terms of the OCP - we have some MONSTER additions to make to K&B 7 to cover that exam - we're working on it!

No. The old SCJA books go with the SCJA 5/6 exam. The old SCJP 6 books can be used for the OCAJ 7. Or the new OCAJ 7 books when they come out.
Thanks alot for replying Jeanne. But my problem is i stay in india and i dont know whether the study guide which i purchased is scja5/6 or whatever version it is. But as far as my knowledge it is the latest study guide available in market here. I think the exams prometric centres are conducting are for scja6/ocaj6. I dont have any clue about this. Is there a way to identify which java version study guide i am referring to? So please help me out of this problem.
