Good morning,
I began to study for
Java Certification six month ago. I said in my company and they agreed with it. As is advised in the books, the first thing I did was to plan the next six months. I needed to have enough time and ready for my exam.
My planning was to study the three first months and following months doing tests. I started to study OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-808. A time later was released OCA Java SE 8 Programmer I Certification Guide by Mala Gupta. In my opinion this one is best and it helped me to reinforce and improve concepts.
The first three months I could my planning but next three I have much work and I had not enough time to study and practice with Enthuware as recommended in the forum. I suggest you to take two or three holidays before your exam.
Anyway, I passed my exam with 70%. As I said in other post, I took my exam in Spanish Modern and it helped me a lot in the theory questions. During my exam I felt calm because the tests were same that Enthuware.
I had enough time to finish my exam and I could review all the questions. I went home as fast as I could and when I saw my result the only thing I did was to jump for joy.
I feel strong and motivated now to prepare my next OCP exam.
Kind regards.
