Mala Gupta - OCP Java SE 7 Programmer II Certification Guide- this one (early access)
Kathy Sierra , Bert Bates - OCA/OCP Java SE 7 Programmer I & II Study Guide (Exams 1Z0-803 & 1Z0-804) - and this one

some people who used this books:

https://coderanch.com/t/640772/sr/certification/OCPJP-Java-SE-ProgrammerII-passed

i already study K&B and S. G. Ganesh - Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 7 Programmer Exams 1Z0-804 and 1Z0-805: A Comprehensive OCPJP 7 Certification Guide (Expert's Voice in Java) this one, for me K&B better (i did not found some class like Semaphore and some other from java.util.concurrent in other source but it was in S. G. Ganesh (may be it cover some classes that you not need on exam) and for me K&B was deeper book) - coverage good, but also there is some topic that i want study more, so i already read JDBC specification JSR 221 - JDBC™ 4.1 Specification and now read JLS and than planed read Gupta book.

also i was suggested to read this resource Angelika Langer - Java Generics FAQs

also you can read Oracle Online Tutorial - Programmer Level II Exam - some topic not covered, but some of them is interesting to read (already read).

and i read that on exam there is some classes that not covered: ArrayDeque, RandomAccessFile, InputStream, OutputStream, and methods mark() and markSupported() from class Reader. (if any one know more: pl write)

Just to add, the Oracle Java tutorial is also a very useful resource for exam preparation: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/certification/javase-7-programmer2.html

Just finish reading: Angelika Langer - Java Generics FAQs. I want say that this is really "must read" material to understand generic and make deeper preparation in this topic for exam.
Book is really good, and free.
