Hi guys,

I wanted to post my study process and result for other people's reference.

I passed the update exam 1Z0-813 with 80%, and at enthuware mock exams I averaged 68-73%.

For my studies:

- I used mainly Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff OCP 8 book as many here, and It's indeed very very useful. I read the entire book plus the Appendix C.
- I also strongly recommend take a basic look at some stuff I noticed It's missing in the book and I've found in the simulations I did:  StandardOpenOption enum, FileSystem (getRootDirectories), Path (resolveSibling)
- I recommend Enthuware for mock exams 10000x more over whizlabs. Enthuware is fantastic and cheap! I used Whizlabs like 9 years ago and It was fine, but now their interface is horrible, with formatting problems and typos, and I've found about 3 errors that I reported to them and confirmed to be wrong. After the third error I simply stopped using it, so there might be more. I deeply regret getting Whizlabs.

The whole preparation process took me about 2 weeks, studying for a few hours every evening including weekends. Also, I have been working with Java for about 10 years.

Anyway, I am happy with the result. =)

I wish good luck for future test takers!
