They would contact me again once they had more info (and/or solution), but it has already been 6 months since I filed this complaint. And clearly the issue is still present. I'll try once more. It will be my final attempt!

Whew. I read you used all but 3 minutes and thought that was your first pass. That would have been a problem on the OCP where you are more time constrained.

A few pieces of advice for OCP:
It's a much more difficult test. Be patient while studying When reading K&B 7, note that there are a number topics no longer on the exam. Check the [url=https://coderanch.com/wiki/659978/Wiki/OCPJP-OCPJP]differences between OCP 7 and OCP 8 so you don't wast time with things like listening for changes on the file system (which is a pain to study and not on the OCP 8).
If you haven't already, can you post a review on Amazon? (There's some lag on Amazon posting reviews to the author page)

Uh-oh, I passed all my certification exams without using Enthuware
Roel De Nijs wrote:But please keep in mind that the OCPJP8 certification exam will be much harder than the OCAJP8 one. And the reason is simple: you need a more in-depth knowledge of a set of advanced and complex topics. So don't rush and take your time to prepare yourself thoroughly for this exam.
