Hi duggy Singh,
First of all, a warm welcome to CodeRanch!

It all depends on how much time you can spend, but preparing as a newbie for just one month will probably be too ambitious (but it's possible if you can spend plenty of hours each day to study). You'll probably need much more time to prepare thoroughly for the OCAJP8 certification exam. Please note it won't be enough to know how to write Java applications; you'll need a good, solid understanding of the Java and OO basics to pass this certification exam.

I wonder why you need a partner for this journey. If you really want to learn Java, that should be enough motivation to keep going and not give up half way. And passing the certification exam in the end will be the icing on the cake of your journey to learn Java. It might be very difficult to find a partner due to several reasons, e.g. learning speed (yo might learn much faster than your partner), time to spend for studying,... But no worries, here in this forum you'll have plenty of people who are studying and preparing together with you for the
OCAJP exam. And others will benefit from the questions/doubts you have, like you will benefit as well from the questions/doubts of others. And every rancher has her own story: an experienced Java developer, a school graduate, a system engineer who wants to switch to Java development,...
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
