Aaqiel Behardien | December 16, 2021 | 1Z0-819 68% | Started studying for OCA JP SE 8 November 2020, passed 1Z0-808 in March 2021. Started studying for OCPJP SE 11 beginning of May 2021, passed on December 16, 2021. It was a challenging journey as I had no experiencein the Java language when I started studying at all. Coming from Python it was a different ball game. Many said I needed experience to pass but I had to show myself that I could do it. Using Study guide by Scott Selikoof & Jeanne Boyarsky in combination with Enthuware mock exams, my goal has been achieved. | South Africa | OCI Associate |

Favio Tejada | July 30, 2021 | 1Z0-819-J 80% | Over the course of a year I spent 20-30 min on a daily basis reading a section of the OCP Java SE Programmer II Study guide by Scott Selikoof & Jeanne Boyarsky, then, once I felt comfortable with the concepts exposed in the syllabus, I spent a couple of weeks doing the Enthuware & WhizLab's mock tests (around 24 tests in total). The actual exam did not look that tricky, by the time I cleared up all the questions I still had 30 minutes left. IMHO the Enthuware mock tests should suffice for anyone who does not have the time to read the study books. I would nonetheless recommend getting familiar with the JavaDocs as this exam is mostly about grasping the APIs. | Bolivia | PIV-SPC |

Grant Olson | December 3, 2020 | 1Z0-819 87% | Updated my Java knowledge (formally) for the first time since my first Java certifications about two decades ago. Took the test from home, twice (two attempts). First time, 57%, running out of time with about 5-6 questions left unanswered. It seems that I needed another four weeks to get really confident that I was ready. Used Selikoff and Boyarsky's Complete Study Guide, and Enthuware's practice tests. Also bought Whizlab's practice tests and went through a couple of those. I had a little trouble, especially on the first attempt, with the whiteboard software, so I intended to use a WACOM Intuos tablet to more easily use the whiteboard on the second attempt. The proctor disallowed me from using the tablet, however. My most emphatic recommendation is for Enthuware's practice tests. The Selikoff and Boyarsky book was a worthwhile purchase, as well. | USA | Spring Professional 5.0 |
