This is maybe because in mock exams we have nothing to lose so thats why we give mock exams freely. But Real exam is real that's why we emphasize more on each and every questions. this also happens with me. I took only 1.5 hours to complete 80 ques but in Real exam I took 2 hours to complete 70 questions. Seems to be strange but the reality is that a REAL EXAM is a REAL EXAM that's why emphasize more on each and every questions even we know that we mark correct answer.

I didn't know about it since there are sets of questions and each person is given a single set out of those sets. Maybe I think this is the procedure but didn't know surely about it.
And ya lastly, don't bother about it much , 88% is a good score just take your time and relax a little bit.
Once again Congratulations on your success.

I don't think there are actual exam sets. I think there's a question bank with e.g. 500 questions. And for every exam the number of questions are chosen randomly from this question bank but with enough coverage for each exam objective. So you might have been a bit unlucky and have gotten a few harder ones or maybe you had one or two weaker areas and got 5-6 questions on these topics (while the guy/girl next to you got only 3).
When I took the SCJP 6 certification exam (a long time ago), I noticed more questions than usual were "do not compile" ones. Probably the easiest Java certification exam of the three SCJP exams I have taken. You'll find more details if you click on the corresponding link in my signature.

Lambdas are actually a minor part of the OCA. And only as applied to Predicates for a few APIs. By contrast, lambdas are all over on the OCP.
Given that questions are randomized, it is possible to not get any questions on them for the OCA. Not terribly likely, but still possible.
