Hello,

I've purchased the question banks for both OCP java 7 and OCP java 8 in order to have better preparation for the OCP java 8 exam.
How much the questions from OCP java 7 overlap/(are duplicate of) those in the question bank for OCP java 8.

Just wondering what would be the best approach of going through the tests.
Maybe start with tests for OCP 7 and then advance to OCP 8 tests.

Thanks,
Nikki

There is quite a lot of difference between the two question banks. You should not use the question bank meant for OCPJP 7 to prepare for OCPJP8 exam because:
1. Questions on topics that are common to both exams are duplicated in both the question banks.
2. Some topics are common but concepts have changed between Java 7 and 8. (For example, static methods in interfaces). So such questions in 7 will only confuse you because explanations and correct answers are different.
3. Several topics have been dropped from Java 8 exam so it would be a waste of time attempting the questions in v7.
4. Questions on new topics will be present only on JQ+ V8.

Best approach would be to forget the question bank for 7. Just go through the tests from JQ+ V8. Follow this process: http://enthuware.com/index.php/componen ... rticle/119
