LOL, I also thought there was no OCA 6, but in fact it was:

Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 5/SE 6 1Z0-850 Java SE 5 and 6, Certified Associate

(discontinued a year ago, btw)

Hi Scott !
I wonder what sort of questions were about Modules topic.
Are they only technical ones, with code snippets?
Because there is one objective "Describe the Modular JDK" - seems it's more theoretical.

check which user runs WAS process in OS
run "crontab -l" as that user
inspect if WAS stopped by cron

Summary of new topics/features
1) Modularity (from Java SE 9) and all related - migration, jdeps utility
2) Type inference (from Java SE 10) and as lambda parameters (from Java SE 11)
3) Annotations (applicable to older Java releases)
4) Security coding best practices (applicable to older Java releases)

Have fun ;-)

Before the page renders there is noticeable delay (about 5 seconds), so it waits a bit something, then renders with stacktrace

It happens when I click top forums link https://coderanch.com/forums

JFYI: I am getting some stack trace today like this:

Sorry I don't have anything more detailed than on the Oracle web site.

Some thoughts:
Java EE 6 is not wide mainstream now, but some knowledge might still be useful. Example (IMHO): Servlet API, JPA.
Java EE 7 exam - extremely difficult, I took it only because passed all (except JSF) Java EE 6 exams earlier, and it helped a lot.
There is some exam about Java EE from RedHat, consider it as option.
OCM (architect) does not have any pre-requisite to take some exam. Not sure when OCM exam updated, but suspect it valid against Java EE 6.
If your aim is OCM - I would recommend reading books recommended here, do not bother with Java EE 7 exam, and proceed to OCM directly.

Hi Salah,

This information unfortunately does not present in score report, see full first page screenshot from CertView.

Excellent ! Congratulations !

Did anyone faced this issue?

*Just a guess*, maybe check junk mail folder?

I had some weird delay with Oracle when waited exam results. It took several days (maybe 3) to update certview, while they state exam results are ready in hour or so..
