Thanks a lot Roel for replying. I think i have internet access 24/7 so i dont need that book and also i dont have money to purchase that book within this short period of time. I am working as an intern with a very less salary so i cant afford it right now.I completely agree with you there are a lot of errors in this book and also it contains the UML chapter whereas for the new exam 1z0-850 does not include it for the exam as seen on oracle website.
I think taking a lot of mock exams will prepare me for the exam instead of keep reading and revising the guide.
I would like to hear some very useful tips from you to help clear my exam.I appreciate your reply.

Thank you.

Because there is a huge difference between these 2 certifications (although both OCAJ) in study material (and required java knowledge).





I want to appear for OCAJ 5/6.I am planning it to attend on aug 10 2012.Please help me to clear it soon.
Thank you.

Hi Gary,

First of all I would like to congratulate you for your achievement.I have the following doubts,please help me clarify it...

1)I am referring Robert Liguori scja guide cx-310-019. Is it sufficient to clear the exam?
2)Did you get any UML related questions on the exam because now the oracle site says UML has been omitted.
3)The new exam is Oracle certified java associate 1z0-085 which people say is similar to cx-310-019.Is the syllabus for both the same?
4)Which are the questions that were difficult to solve on exam and which chapter consists of highest appearing questions on exam?
5)Some tips and tricks for clearing this exam in one go and how much time a newbie needs to prepare for it?

Note that "UML representation of OO concepts" chapter is completely removed for OCA Java SE 5/6 exam.





Thanks a lot for replying.
So you mean to say i can attend OCA Java SE 5/SE 6 which is same as scja cx-310-019 ?
Ok so are you sure that i should omit the uml chapter from my study guide?
I dont want to go for OCA Java SE 7 Programmer certification directly, can i do that?

Thank you

For the NEW OCA exam, I believe that as of April 2012, there are several books in the process of being written, but that none are yet available. (If anyone knows of an OCA book that's available now, please add a post to this thread!)

So, in the meantime, until an OCA-specific book is available, you can use the chapters I mentioned earlier (from the K&B SCJP 6 book), to study for the OCA. As I said, those chapters aren't a perfect fit, but I'd guess that they're a 95% fit.

Please remember that any book written for the old SCJA is probably only about a 30% fit for the new OCA - the new OCA exam is REALLY, REALLY different than the old SCJA.

Bert Bates wrote:Hi Guys,

If you're studying for the Java 7 exam(s), and if you're not already certified, you now have to pass your OCA exam before you can attempt the OCP exam.

If you're studying for the OCA, our book (K&B 6), should give you pretty good coverage. If you study the following chapters from K&B 6 you should be in pretty good shape for the OCA:

chaps: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
chap 6 - the String and StringBuilder sections
chap 7 - the hashCode() and equals() sections, and only the ArrayList class.
chap 10

The chapters (and sections) listed above ARE NOT a perfect overview of everything you might encounter on the real exam, but I'd say they represent a 95% overlap. We'll be nailing down that last 5% over the next several weeks.

In terms of the OCP - we have some MONSTER additions to make to K&B 7 to cover that exam - we're working on it!

Bert



Hello Bert,
I am planning to attend the exam on 15th august 2012.First of all i need to clear my doubt about scja exam.

1)I am referring to SCJA exam guide CX-310-019 Tata McGraw-Hill Edition 2009, Copyright 2010.It contains 8 objectives including UML.I purchased this guide on 16th june 2012. As i saw in oracle site the syllabus for "Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 5/SE 6" Exam number 1Z0-850 has 7 objectives in which UML is not included.
Please refer the link below
[url="http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_850&p_org_id=1001&lang=US#3"]
Which one should i refer to for appearing the latest scja exam.

2)What is SCJA exam called presently? And what is "Oracle Certified Java Associate Programmer I certificate exam".If it is same like SCJA exam then why is oracle site displaying both the exams? What is the difference between "SCJA exam CX-310-019", "Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 5/SE 6 Exam number
1Z0-850 " and "Oracle Certified Java Associate Programmer I certificate exam 1Z0-803".

Please help me clear my doubt as soon as possible, i need to attend the exam next month.

Thank you.

No. The old SCJA books go with the SCJA 5/6 exam. The old SCJP 6 books can be used for the OCAJ 7. Or the new OCAJ 7 books when they come out.




Thanks alot for replying Jeanne. But my problem is i stay in india and i dont know whether the study guide which i purchased is scja5/6 or whatever version it is. But as far as my knowledge it is the latest study guide available in market here. I think the exams prometric centres are conducting are for scja6/ocaj6. I dont have any clue about this. Is there a way to identify which java version study guide i am referring to? So please help me out of this problem.
