In
this thread you'll find all available resources (study guides and mock exams) for the OCA 7 and 8 exams.
Of course a study guide for the OCA 7 exam will prepare you for the OCA 7 related topics, but you'll need to study the new OCA 8 topics as well. And maybe even some of the OCA 7 exam topics could be changed in the OCA 8 exam as well. You'll find a mapping between the exam topics of both OCA exams on
this link. To bridge the gap, you could consider using some free online resources (e.g. the Oracle
Java tutorials) and/or purchase an OCA 8 study guide.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel
