OCA 1ZO-808

[Preety Sethi]

I heard it is outdated, is it really helpful in today's date having  1Z0-808 certification.

Please help.

Opinions will doubtless vary, but Java8 is still regarded as a current version, so it is probably an exaggeration to call 1Z0‑808 outdated.
Do you need a new cert to find a job? Has somebody told you to pass the Java11 exams?

Campbell Ritchie, if I don't have the strict order to pass Java 11 exam and I need to find a job, will it be useful to pass Java 8?

I work for german software company and they still develop its software with 8 version. Actually I am learning for ocaj se8 exam
If I understand correct, 11 version is just update of 8, so there are some new functionality but the basics are definitely the same

Sorry for the late reply, actually yes, my manager was telling Java 8  is outdated, need to clear Java 11

I still think that is mistaken, but if you have been told to sit the Java11 exam, that is what you will have to sit.
