The official name of the second exam is "Java SE 7 Programmer II" and if you have passed both exams, you'll be granted the "Oracle Certified Professional,
Java SE 7 Programmer" title. So there's a (minor) typo in the exam name: "OC
A SE 7 Programmer II" should be "OC
P SE 7 Programmer II".
And the gist of your blog post is very similar to the advice I give when someone asks "how can I get the OCA certification as soon as possible?". I always advise against this approach and give my personal opinion: Give yourself enough time to prepare. Don't rush! The journey becoming certified is
much more important than that piece of paper itself. If you take your time to prepare, you'll become a much better developer with a good understanding of Java and OO basics. You'll get much more out of your certification than someone who's preparing to just pass the exam. No doubt! (and of course the same applies for the OCP certification exam as well)
