Hi JavaRanch,
I am new to
Java and not as strong as I would like to be. I still have to create my first application. I recently got 49% on Java SE 5 and 6, Certified Associate 1Z0-850. I failed that exam but I noticed by browsing JavaRanch that this exam is effectively deprecated.
My question is:
Should I switch gears and study for Java SE 8 Programmer I, 1Z0-808, instead? OR should I reattempt 1Z0-850?
Also, if you are feeling energetic, any thoughts about the following study method?
1. Complete 3-10 problems a day on

2. Check-in weekly with Kaplan Self-Test and summarize and review incorrectly answered questions.
