Jeanne Boyarsky wrote:The Java Foundations exam is not tied to a specific version of Java. It was tested with Java 8 because that was the version of Java out at the time of the exam release. However, the content is not java 8 specifics. It doesn't cover lambdas or other Java 8 features. The Java Foundations exam wasn't launched at the same time as OCA 8 in the first place

Paul Anilprem wrote:Further, there is no "Associate" level certification for Java 11 anymore. You can only be a Oracle Certified Professional - Java SE 11 Developer and for that you need to take two exams - 1Z0-815 and 1Z0-816.
So, unlike before, after taking the first exam i.e. "Java SE 11 Programmer I 1Z0-815", you won't get the OCA certification!
