Java OCP 8 Programmer II Study Guide

OCP: Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 8 Programmer II Study Guide: Exam 1Z1-809

Jeanne Boyarsky and Scott Selikoff developed a study guide for the new Oracle Certified Professional (OCP), Java SE 8 Programmer exam. The book, OCP: Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 8 Programmer II Study Guide: Exam 1Z1-809 is published by  Wiley Publishing.

Oracle published three variations on the exam, depending on which certification you previously hold:

  • 1Z0-809: For those who passed the OCA 8 [1Z0-808] exam
  • 1Z0-810: For those who passed an OCP 7 [1Z0-804 or 1Z0-805] exam
  • 1Z0-813: For those who passed an Java 6 or earlier exam

Passage of any of these three exams, along with their prerequisites, grants the OCP title. Our book includes information for passing all three exams, including a customized Appendix for those taking the Java 6 or earlier version of the OCP 8 exam.

We are using this blog to publish information about the book such as objectives changes and any errata found within the book. To report an error in the book that is not yet enisted here, please create a thread in the OCP forum and include “Sybex OCP Java 8 Study Guide” in the subject.

Length/score

Oracle has a tendency to change this information from time to time. As of May 22, 2017:

  • Length: 2 hours (was 2.5 hours util August 2022)[1Z0-809, 1Z0-810], 130 minutes [1Z0-813]
  • # Questions: 68 (was 85 until August 2022) [1Z0-809], 60 [1Z0-810], 60 [1Z0-813]
  • Passing score: 65% [1Z0-809, 1Z0-810], 63% [1Z0-813]

Changes to the objectives since the exam was launched

Not an objective, but Oracle made certain objectives about the exam explicit. See this thread for the text

Exam affected When change occurred Description of change Impact of Change
1Z0-809 (main OCP 8 exam) October 2015 The merge() method of the Stream API was removed from the objectives list. It is still on the upgrade exam. I would recommend learning it anyway for the main exam because it is useful API and they might have left the questions on the exam despite removing the objectives.
1Z0-810 (upgrade exam from Java 7) November 2015 The merge() method of the Stream API was removed from the objectives list. It’s still on the upgrade exam for Java 6 or lower, but not for people upgrading from Java 7. I’m guessing this will change shortly. Will update this table when it happens.
1Z0-813(upgrade exam from Java 6 or earlier) March 2016 “Use collections from the java.util.concurrent package with a focus on the advantages over and differences from the traditional java.util collections” changed to “”Use classes from the java.util.concurrent package including CyclicBarrier and CopyOnWriteArrayList with a focus on the advantages over and differences from the traditional java.util collections” The new objective is more specific, but still leaves room for other classes to be tested.
