Hy,

Today I passed the 1Z0-808 with 82% score.

I studied:
- Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-808 book
- enthuware.com mock exams
- OCA Java SE 7 Programmer I Study Guide (Exam 1Z0-803) (Oracle Press) - just mock questions
- mock questions of older exams found on internet like: http://www.quizover.com/oracle-certified-professional-java-programmer-scjp-ocjp-mock-exam
- http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/ - I went through all java classes and studied the api
- on github there are same repos with experimental code. For example this one: https://github.com/AlexKbit/oracleCertification.

Study time: 2 weeks

The enthuware mocks are very close to the real exam. I am surprised about this. Also, I did not managed my time very well so I took only 3 tests on enthuware . As an advice: take all the enthuware.com mock exams.


PS: please note that 'OCA Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide (Exam 1Z0-808) (Oracle Press)' book is available - you can find it on amazon

Congratulations champion! Great achievement Now it's time to relax a bit and have a (well-deserved) (or 2 or 3). And if you want to spoil yourself have a Belgian beer, our beers are the best of the world

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Other ranchers will definitely benefit! Have a cow!

Don't forget to add your name to the OcajpWallOfFame!

Kind regards,
