Passed OCPJP with the use of   OCP Java 8 Study Guide by Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff:
Special thanks to the authors ,l only used this book for the study and nothing else except javadoc to get a few issues clear to me as l had no prior exprerience.
Here is how l di the study
1.l grabbed the above metioned book read it cover to cover in 4 days only 3 hours per day .l understood nothing except chapter 1 which had some concept from OCA.
--l  only did this to decerease my fears and familiarise with BIG words in java(CyclicBarrier ,ExecutorService )

2.l read the book this time with my sublime text editor  and practicing every concept  and  it was better ,after finishing every chapter , l had to read it again before attempting end of chapter questions
3.after finishing the book l think you guess what l did next ...Read the book again this time it was making sense and l started helping other people who were posting  questions  on facebook especially on concurrency and java.io
4.finally l did the assessment test at the beginning of the book  on my day of exam.
5.finnaly l passed and was very happy
6.if the question is how long would it take for a person with no prior experience to pass l wouldn't say anything except that read  until you know that you know and write the the exam  
Thank you so much Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff for your information .

Congrats Talent! I like how you used our book to iterate. I was nervous when I saw step 1 as that's not what the book is designed for! But then you proceeded to use to keep drilling down which is great.
 
It is an experimental device that will make my mind that most powerful force on earth! More powerful than this tiny ad!
