I think your choice depends on whether you want to take the OCP afterwards. If you are just taking the OCA or plan to take the OCP in 2016, I think you should go for the latest exam. If you plan to take the OCP this year, I think you should take the OCA 7.
The OCP 8 is in beta right now. It will come out late this year. Then some more time needs to pass before study guides and exam simulators are out. Oracle has it setup that you can take the OCA 7/OCP 7 or OCA 8/OCP 8. But not the OCA 8/OCA 7. (as of right now; it is possible they will change their minds). Which means your choice of OCA exam dictates the OCP exam you take.
I'm working on a OCP 8 book right now. If you have the flexibility, I think the OCP 8 is a better exam. Oracle put a bunch of new topics on the OCP 7 including some topics that *nobody* ever uses (such as some of the NIO topics). Then they had a change of heart and reduced the scope of those new topics in addition to adding functional programming with the OCP 8.

No, Java 7 is not an outdated exam. You could even take OCPJP5 or OCPJP6 if you want toSo OCAJP7 is certainly not outdated. And many companies will still have applications written in Java 5 and/or 6 which require maintenance. New Java applications will be written in Java 7 and/or Java 8. At the company I currently work, we have new applications in Java 7 and Java 8.

But your choice depends on a bunch of personal preferences and your future certification plans:
do you plan only to become OCA certified? or do you plan to take OCP certification as well? (from one of your posts, I know you'll give OCP exam when fully prepared) when do you want to take OCP exam? within 3 months? at the end of this year? beginning of next year? do you want to use a study guide and mock exam software in your preparation? or do you want to gather all study materials yourself (e.g. using Oracle's Java tutorials as a starting point) is money an important factor for you? because with OCA+OCP (7 or 8) you need to pay 2 exam fees, with OCPJP6 you need only to pay just 1 exam fee do you want a java certification as soon as possible (to increase your chances while job hunting)?
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel

Guillermo Ishi wrote:One that I remember pertaining to 8, written by Paul, above, who is involved in test prep materials, is that 8 is more than just 7 with the new features thrown in. The personality of the test is different and I think probably harder. Paul mentioned needing knowledge of edge cases in 8, which I think you need with 7 too (!) but point is 8 might be a harder test. These are not trivial tests. Earlier versions might have been.
Linkon Manwani wrote:Hello Ma'am,
Thanks for replying. Yes, i will give OCP exam but only when i will be fully prepared, and it may take 2 months or it may take 6 month as i am not sure how much practice i have to do for OCP. For sure i will start preparing for OCP after OCA Exam. Most probably i will give exam later this year around October/November.
What advice you want to give about my OCA exam and how much i have to practice for that exam like 4-5 hours daily as i am currently preparing only for OCA exam.
And when we will expect OCP 8 book will be released in International market.
