Can i pass the OCP 7 with my OCA 8 Certification ? And the Diff between OCA7 and OCA8

[Abdelhamide El Arib]

Hello,
First of all, this my FIRST topic in CodeRunch
So, i'm willing to pass those days the OCA 8 Certification, after i will pass the OCP 7 or 8 (depends on the 2nd question below)... So when i visit Oracle Website i see that the requirement of OCP 7 is OCA 7 ??? So can pass it with the OCA 8???

2nd Question :
I did 10 practise exams of OCA7, and i did very Good ( 95-100 % )... And because i want to pass the OCA8, what are the differences, and what are the topics which i must read before pass the OCA8 ??

Thank you

Hi Abdelhamide El Arib,

First of all, a warm welcome to CodeRanch!

That's true! You can't combine different certification versions. So you have to choose either OCA7+OCP7 or OCA8+OCP8. Any other combination is invalid and you won't be granted the Oracle Certified Professional title.

Here you'll find a mapping between the exam objectives of OCA7 and OCA8.

Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
