Thank you for your reply. I referred to the thread 'OCPJP-Study-Guide-change'.Now I got a clear picture of the major changes.Thanks
Dear Authors,

         I have prepared for my OCA 8 using your  OCA/OCP Java SE 7 study guide and referred to the java 8 features from other resources.I have finished few chapters from the OCP section of the same book
         for my OCP exam.
         Is it ok if I skip the chapters I have already done and continue with the rest if I need to proceed with your new book? .Is there any major change in the new book from the OCP section of Java SE 7
         study guide, other than the addition of Java 8 features ?

         Thanks once again for the great book.

Femy

Did you find that the Enthuware Mock exam scores were similar to your official exam score?



Thanks Arthur...The most interesting thing was that I got  the same 78% for the Enthuware unique test which I took th e previous day of my exam:)

While 78% is a fine score, it's good you were hoping for higher. Being a perfectionist is a good skill in a programmer .



Thanks Jeanne ...

Thanks for sharing this insight!  I'm preparing for OCA and didn't know about this.  Looked it up and I think $10 is a reasonable price if it's helpful, I'll do it.




Thanks John...Enthuware suite is really helpful..It almost mimic the real exam...All the best..

Dear All,

   After long 9 years of career break I passed my  1Z0-808 - Java SE 8 Programmer I with 78%. Not satisfied with the marks , but still happy I made it.

A special thanks to Roel De Nijs whose informations and valuable threads were really useful for my preparation and boosted my confidence

I prepared using OCA 8  exam guide by Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff and also the one by Mala Gupta.Both  books really helped me.Thanks to both the authors.

Finally I used Enthuware suite for my final preparation. Its really worth buying. It helped a lot in facing the real exam.A big thanks to the Enthuware team.


Last but not the least, a big thanks to the Code Ranch Forum .

My next goal is OCPJP SE8 certification, Hope I can make it.


Thanks and Regards,
Femy

Thank you so much Roel for your detailed reply,tips and guidence and also for sharing threads which will really helps me during my preparation.

As an addition, thought of sharing my current situation.I am a java developer with 4yrs of  experience but with a huge gap of 9yrs due to personal reasons.Now Iam in a position to return back to my career.So thought of taking certification before going further.

I have studied the OCA 8 exam guide by Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff which I found really useful.I have used the SYBEX test banks in which I scored around80% before buying Enthuware.
Currently I took a couple of Enthuware standard tests in which I didn't score really well. So I am in a lack of confidence state.

After going through your reply, I realised my mistake that after each test I have to study the weaker areas and prepare more before taking the next one.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks a lot Bert for your reply.

I have one more question. Iam already taken a set of practice exams in which I have scored only  from 69-75%. Is that enought to face the real exam or do I need to score more?

Thanks and Regards,
Hello,


   I am a java developer who really wants to get back to career after a long gap .Currently I have decided to take OCA 8 certification exam before applying for jobs.
I already had completed your certification guide on ' OCA/OCP Java SE 7'  and later on decided to take OCA 8 certification exam.

How long do I need to prepare? . Also just studying OCA Java SE 8 guide is enough for me to write  the exam?

Any guidence would be really appreciated.


Thanks and Regards,
Femy
