2) You go to the PearsonVue website to book.

It's definitely available in India. And there are just a few certifications which have multiple parts, but the OCA exam is definitely not one of them, so yes it's the full version. If you want to become an Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 8 Programmer, you'll have to pass the Java SE 8 Programmer II (1Z0-809) exam as well. But that's a totally different exam (much more advanced than the Java SE 8 Programmer I (1Z0-808) exam.

You'll find all the information you need on the Pearson Vue website or you could just click here

4. Which books need to prepare ??

In the OcajpFaq (besides other very useful information) and this thread you'll find an overview of all available resources (study guides, mock exams,...) to thorougly prepare yourself for the certification exam. And on the OcajpWallOfFame you'll find plenty of (links to) experiences from other ranchers (including resources they have used). So it can be useful to determine which resources are useful (and which are not).

Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel
