OCPJP Beginner Help

[Sagar Dafle]

Hi Guys,
This is Sagar from Mumbai, India.
I want to be JAVA certified like all ppl here are ...and cheers and congos to ppl who successfully completed the exam
I guess the latest exam available is OCPJP 7 for which i have to clear OCAJP 7 and the cost for both would be
(8k +8k=16k) whish is a lil concern for me at this moment.
will it be fine if i give OCPJP 6 exam as of now ? I just dont want recruiters to question me back why i didnt go for OCPJP 7 !!!

Is it that ocpjp 6 certification wont have much value when OCPJP7 exam is available in the market ?


I guess i can upgrade myself to OCPJP7 later by giving OCPJP6 !

but will i have to again give OCAJP7 again for that ??

Kindly help guys.
i am new to the forum.

There is no need to take oca 7 again if you complete version 6. You can directly take Upgrade exam for version 7.

Please have a look at scjp 6 preparation article or visit oracle website.

THanks bro !!
and if i refer this book for OCPJP 6 1Z0-851 , is that okay ? Because it was initially meant for SCJP ..is there any diffrences between the topics in scjp n ocpjp ?

There is no difference between scjp 6(sun corporation) and ocpjp 6(oracle inc).

Yes, it's ok for preparation.
