Great info. I know I'm late to the party, but when you eventually do take the exam, do you take it remotely/online or do you have to go to an actual testing center to take the exam? Thanks.

The way you explain concepts is so clear. Like you mentioned in the video, can you have a session on time complexity and space complexity.

Thanks for the tips. I'm 12 classes away from my bachelors in CS and struggling really hard. Failed my last class after putting in 50 hours a week the entire semester. I have been thinking of taking a semester off and going over the basics again while trying to obtain this certification.

[tomhollins]

Very clear. Another good overview like you did in the OCP video.

Hi Except for OCA, what other materials do we need to safely prepare the exam? You mentioned practice exams. After OCA, how many practice exams do we need? Thanks!

Hi Siamak, I took the actual 1ZO-808 exam after it got postponed three times due to covid 19 and not until now they didn’t make it take from home online proctored. I took the practice exams from Boyarsky and Selikoff book and got 80%+ but I still failed the exam with 46% below the required 65%. The practice exams from the book were not similar to the real exam. They were also much harder and more code snippets. I had read the study guide 3+ times and compiled and run every line of code in notepad from the book. I feel at this point I just need to practice exam questions that are similar to the real exam questions. Which exam simulation software do you recommend and can you point me a link to it? I heard of Enthuware being the best one for this. Do you recommend it? I would appreciate your help. I definitely want the certificate because I spent months studying for it and have nothing (no certification) to show for it. Appreciate the help. Also it was hard pacing myself on the actual exam because the time was showing in decrementing order! In the custom exam from the Boyarsky and Selikoff book I was able to track my time because the timer was in incrementing order and I knew I had 1 and half to 2 minutes per question. In the actual exam because the timer was decrementing it caught me off guard and I had trouble tracking my time per question.

Good explanation. Really looking forward to crack OCA

I loved the tone you used to say "today is exiting" really made me laugh. but i hope it (learning for exam) will be ok.

How Can i get the model papers/sample papers to prepare for exam?

Thank you so much Sir. Very helpful tips.

Hey thanks for your video. I went to a coding bootcamp to learn JavaScript angular node. But I don’t have the core foundation like java and/or understanding of data structures and algorithms. Would passing the OCAJP (entry level cert) help in finding a software dev job or do I need to pass both the OCA and OCP (professional level cert)? Your input is highly appreciated. Thanks for the helpful advice. And how long (in months) should a beginner prepare for the OCA exam? 2-3 months? I’m highly focused and I won’t be having any distractions so i just wanted a rough estimation of how long to prepare for the OCA exam. Thanks

Hi Siamak, first of all I’d like to thank you for sharing with us those important tips. I’ll run for a OCA this year. My question is, how long it would take from purchasing this book to get certified. I have a good understanding about Java, but now I decided to be certified. Thank you.

[mohammedsardar]

If I feel OCP study books looks very comfort then can I prepare for OCP directly? Still OCA8 is required to get pass before? Thanks for sharing your thoughts here.

[santiagogil]

Brilliant! Just one question, could you please paste the link to take exam simulations? Thank you!

[casioamplifier]

Hi Siamak, so I was reading the OCA study guide (same one in your video) and before I even went to the java basics, there was an assessment test. There were 20 questions. What if you don’t get any of them right? Is this some sort of assessment on whether you have the minimum knowledge to go through the contents of the study guide and sit for the exam? Or should I disregard the assessment test and come back to it after I have read the entire study guide? Thanks

[imnotchinese]

bro they are putting me and my class through this at the age of 14-16 💀💀💀

[IntenseMysteries]

Thanks a lot for the tips .. I'm preparing for the exam .. Suggest some courses too

[robixmor]

Hello. Are these OCA books for beginners or they suppose to know already java but focuses only of tests? Can I use it to learn java from scratch and to pass the exam as well ? As of now, what is the latest version, Java 11 ? Thanks.

[bilalshahid]

Is Java 8 still relevant in 2022 or we should go for any other java certification? Kindly comment. Thanks.

[khadeerdudekula]

Hay bro could you please send any course links like un udemy, coursera etc please...
