OCA / OCP Practice Tests: Exam 1Z0-808 and Exam 1Z0-809 Promo Question

[Thomas Zink]

I have your books and have started going through the OCA subjects and questions. I also purchased the Enthuware software for OCA.
The Subject questions at the end of the chapters are pretty challenging.  They frequently trip me up and send me back to the content in the chapters for a double take.
1.  Is your new book a lot more subject questions?
I have also used the web version of the questions and answers that are duplicates of the books.
2.  Is there a web version of the book too?
3. Does anyone ever really get sent the books or practice exam awards from the promos in Java Ranch?
I won one and I was told it would get sent when all the people that won reply.  What if everyone doesn't reply
Thanks for all your work on the Forums! I frequently find an answer to a study question.

That's exactly the purpose of this kind of questions! These questions' raison d'etre is making sure you have a solid grasp of all concepts and exam topics covered in that chapter.

Yes!

It's a known fact that the online questions are the same as in the book. It's mainly about which format you prefer to take them in.

Thomas Zink wrote:2.  Is there a web version of the book too?

Yes! But the online questions are exactly the same as in the book.

Yes, without any doubt! I have won multiple times and every time I received my prize. You can even follow the status of each promo on the BookPromotionsWinnersPage.

Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel

Note that the questions in the Practice Exam book are different from that of the Study Guides. And for the Practice Exam book, the web interface is the same as the printed book.

For the Study Guides, the three mock exams were only available online. So those questions were different. It was the end of chapter questions that were the same online.

Also, please email the account that you send your "prize claim" into so we can check up on it. (Once enough time has passed.) When you sent in your winner info, the book promo team replied with a form letter saying when to expect the book.
