Hi Silviu,

This beta is not mentioned here, so I think even Oracle doesn't know when it will be released.

As you are already OCPJP7 certified, you can take the upgrade exam to OCPJP8 (1Z0-810) which is released in beta on January 24, 2015 according to its official webpage. More info can be found in this topic as well.

Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel

Hi Roel,

Thank you very much, this is what I wanted to know, the beta for upgrade exam. I am guessing that the beta is much harder than a normal exam because your knowledge is challenged a lot more. I have worked with lambdas, but I don't feel prepared for it yet. There is plenty of time to learn the new features until Jan, 24th.

True! And there is no reason to take the beta on the 1st day as you'll know your score not instantly (like a regular exam). You have to wait approximately 11 weeks after close of the beta exam. So you can easily take the beta on the last day as well and extend your preparation time with a few weeks/months.

Good luck!

Thank you. I have seen that you own a couple of versions so you have quite a lot of experience with upgrades. Any specific advice for upgrade exam? It will be a first for me.

Yeah, that's an understandable suspicion... But it's a wrong one
