If you want to prepare for OCAJP7 you don't have to worry about lambdas, because lambdas is a topic for the OCAJP8 exam. And regular expressions is not on the OCA exams, so you don't have to worry about those as well

In the
OcajpFaq (besides other very useful information) and
this thread you'll find an overview of all available resources (study guides, mock exams,...) to thorougly prepare yourself for the certification exam. And on the
OcajpWallOfFame you'll find plenty of (links to) experiences from other ranchers (including resources they have used). So it can be useful to determine which resources are useful (and which are not).

This forum has plenty of topics about this subject. It all depends what's important to you (e.g. money, available resources,...). In
this thread you'll find an overview of all possible paths (OCPJP6, OCAJP7+OCPJP7 or OCAJP8+OCPJP8) you could take to become an OCPJP certified
Java programmer. And
this thread also contains some valuable information about which OCA version to choose. So I would advice to read these threads and if you still have questions or doubts, just hit the reply button and let us know!
For the OCA (and OCP) exams you don't need to write code, all questions are multiple choice. But the majority of the questions require you to evaluate code snippets and choose the best answer(s) from a bunch of possible answers.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
