Congrats on passing the OCP 8. You are correct it is a far harder exam than the OCA 8.

Can you post a review on Amazon of the book?



Yes I did.  I gave the book 5 stars.  While there are code bugs in the book, I typed and compiled the code so I knew the correct code.  Reading/studying with the book allowed me to pass the exam.  Thank you!!!

I finally passed the OCP Java 8 exam.  I spent around 4 months studying about 3 to 4 hours a day. I used the book "OCP: Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 8 Programmer II Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-809".  I also practiced with the mock exams from enthuware.com.

My score on the OCA was 92% and on the OCP was 83%.  The OCP was much harder.  I actually though I had scored in the low 70's so was happy with my score.

Not sure of any specific advice I can give to others preparing for the test.  Lots of questions included Java 8 streams, but often were testing something else.  The mock exams were very helpful.  I think my average score on the enthuware mock exams was around 70%.
