Hi,

In my opinion it is good that you signed up for OCA8 because java gives the opportunity to get a certificate with it and then if you like to be an OCP, then take the 1Z0-816 exam and get your OCP11.
Thanks for the info. But I checked online and I saw the refund possibility but I what I could not find, is the option to re-use the voucher to re-schedule another exam. Any ideas before I click "Confirm Cancel" or is it afterwards?
Thanks for the reply. I wish I paid more attention to different path. What I only had in mind was taking an up-to-date exam and didn't know it. I don't think by PearsonVue I have the option of changing or deleting and be eligible for a refund. Books about modules and exam preps aren't a big problem and I have bought also some mock questions from whizlabs. I have also the subscription to all Lynda English und German videos. But still I feel bad about the path I took by signing up. I wish someone could give me a hint of options or at least told me that If I study the Modules well, for example by reading "Java Modularity" book, my chances will not be reduced compared to what is inside OCA 8.

Another thing that bothers me is the thought that Microservices and frameworks like spring boot being so damn popular and which I like to take eventually, the question that "is it needed and beneficial to master modularity at class level now that microservices which is a architectural style whatever the language, is a hot topic or maybe de facto standard of how we are going to develop Enterprise Application or Java creators are really into something by introducing Modularity in Java 9?

Thanks
Hello,

yesterday i signed up for OCA 11 and although I knew the added concepts at the time of signed up, I came across some guys online that told me that it is a complete different animal compared to OCA 8. Not being a full time developer and early on the road, I don't know if I should prepare for OCA 11 now that I paid and signed up for it or take OCA 8 to get me at the door at companies in few months time, rather than risking failing miserably and face the music. I appreciate your insights.

Thanks,
Sam
