OCPJP - 1z0-809 - Java SE 8 - Booked too soon?

In case anyone is interested ....

took OCPJP 8 and passed 68% against 65% pass mark ... ouch, just squeaked it!

I would not recommend anyone taking this just yet unless they are really really comfortable with lambdas and functional interfaces and (even more so) streams. It seemed like every other question was on streams and I think i didn't study deeply enough. There was a fair bit on concurrency, but i thought that was way more straightforward (and well covered in SE 7 books).

Good luck all!

I recommend checking the exam actually launched a little before you take the exam!

Will do, thanks Jeanne.

Thanks for the swift reply Jeanne - as an aside, it was yours and Scott Selikov's book that good me through the OCA so thoroughly unscathed :-) imagine my disheartenment upon finding that the OCP edition is slated for December on Amazon!

I'm booked for 18th September, but dates were available sooner. I just rechecked the Pearson Vue confirmation email and it's definitely the OCP (1Z0-809 - Java SE 8 Programmer II - English (ENU))

Anyway, thanks again and i'll look at the book you suggested.

OCPJP - 1z0-809 - Java SE 8 - Booked too soon?

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster.

I passed the OCA Java SE 8 last week fairly easily and my boss booked me on the OCP - apparently we have some kind of Oracle certification and they need a certain number of certified staff ...

Anyway, I've spent the day trying to find study material, but there seems to be a dearth specifically for the 1z0-809 exam

Are there any resources I should be hunting out? How good a prep will OCP 7 materials (plus streams, date & time, labmdas etc) be?

Cheers,
Stef
