Study Guide Exam 1Z0-816 and Exam 1Z0-817 (2020) - Page 25 preview imageIntroductionCongratulations! If you are reading this, you've likely passed the 1Z0-815 Programmer I exam, and you are now ready to start your journeythrough the 1Z0-816 (Java SE Programmer II) exam. Or perhaps youcame here from an older version of the certification and are nowtaking the IZ0-817 (Upgrade OCP Java 6, 7 & 8 to Java SE 11Developer) exam. In either case, this book will guide you on your pathto becoming a Java 11 Oracle Certified Professional.The Programmer II exam builds upon the Programmer I exam. Youare expected to know all of Programmer I material when taking thesecond exam. Some objectives on the 1Z0-816 exam are the same asthose on the 1Z0-815 exam, such as thefinalmodifier. Most areimplied. For example, the 1Z0-816 exam objectives don't mentionifstatements, loops, and constructors. Clearly, you still need to knowthese. We will also point out differences in Java 11 to help those of younew to Java 11.If you didn't score well on the 1Z0-815 exam or if it has been a whilesince you took it, we recommend reviewing the book you used to studyfor it. You really need to know the fundamentals well. If you'vemisplaced your study materials, feel free to check out our 1Z0-815book,OCP Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 11 Programmer IStudy Guide: Exam 1Z0-815(Sybex, 2019).In the introduction, we will cover important information about theexam before moving on to information about this book. Finally, thisintroduction ends with an assessment test so you can see how muchstudying lays ahead of you.Understanding the ExamAt the end of the day, the exam is a list of questions. The more youknow about the structure of the exam, the better you are likely to do.For example, knowing how many questions the exam contains allowsyou to manage your progress and time remaining better. In this
Page 26 of 31
Study Guide Exam 1Z0-816 and Exam 1Z0-817 (2020) - Page 26 preview imagesection, we discuss the details of the exam, along with some history ofprevious certification exams.Broader ObjectivesIn previous certification exams, the list of exam objectives tendedto include specific topics, classes, and APIs that you needed toknow for the exam. For example, take a look at an objective for the1Z0-809 (OCP 8) exam:Use BufferedReader, BufferedWriter, File, FileReader,FileWriter, FileInputStream, FileOutputStream,ObjectOutputStream, ObjectInputStream, and PrintWriter inthe java.io package.Now compare it with the equivalent objective for the 1Z0-816 (OCP11) exam:Use I/O Streams to read and write filesNotice the difference? The older version is more detailed anddescribes specific classes you will need to understand. The newerversion is a lot vaguer. It also gives the exam writers a lot morefreedom to insert a new feature, for example, without having toupdate the list of objectives.So how do you know what to study? By reading this study guide ofcourse! We've spent years studying the certification exams, in all oftheir forms, and have carefully cultivated topics, material, andpractice questions that we are confident can lead to successfullypassing the exam.Choosing Which Exam to TakeJava is now 25 years old, celebrating being “born” in 1995. As withanything 25 years old, there is a good amount of history and variationbetween different versions of Java. Over the years, the certificationexams have changed to cover different topics. The names of the exams
Page 27 of 31
Study Guide Exam 1Z0-816 and Exam 1Z0-817 (2020) - Page 27 preview imagehave even changed. This book covers the Java 11 exam.Those with more recent certifications might remember that Oraclereleased two exams each for Java 7 and Java 8. The first exam tendedto be easier, and completing it granted you the title of Oracle CertifiedAssociate (OCA). The second exam was a lot more difficult, with muchlonger questions, and completing it granted you the title of OracleCertified Professional (OCP).Oracle did not release an exam for Java 9 or Java 10, probably becauseneither of these is a Long Term Support (LTS) release. With Java 11,Oracle decided to discontinue both the OCA certification and itsassociated exam. You still have to take two exams to earn an OCP title.The difference is that now you do not obtain a certification title fromcompleting the first exam.Figure I.1 shows these past and current Java certifications. This imageis helpful if you run into material online that references older exams. Itis also helpful if you have an older certification and are trying todetermine where it fits in.FIGURE I.1Past and current Java certificationsFigure I.2 shows the exams you need to take in order to earn the latestJava certification if you don't have any existing Java certifications. Ifyou haven't taken the 1Z0-815 exam yet, see ourOCP Oracle CertifiedProfessional Java SE 11 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-815(Sybex, 2019).

Besides the 1Z0-816Programmer II exam, there is also a 1Z0-817 Upgrade exam. Oraclehas defined a number of upgrade paths to achieve the OCP title, shownin Figure I.3.FIGURE I.3Exam prerequisitesIn a nutshell, you can take the 1Z0-816 exam if you passed the 1Z0-815
Page 29 of 31
Study Guide Exam 1Z0-816 and Exam 1Z0-817 (2020) - Page 29 preview imageexam or hold the OCA 7 or 8 title. Oracle's goal here is to help peopleget to Java 11 OCP certification if they are halfway through the journeyto OCP certification.If you hold a recent OCP 6, 7, or 8 certification title (or even the olderSun Certified Programmer 6 title), then you can take the 1Z0-817 examto obtain the Java 11 OCP title with just one exam. Those with a Javacertification older than this will have to start over and take the 1Z0-815 exam, followed by the 1Z0-816 exam.What if you hold both OCA and OCP Java 7 or 8 certifications? Well,in that case you have a decision to make. Passing either the 1Z0-816 or1Z0-817 exam will grant you the Java 11 OCP title. We recommendreviewing the objectives between the two exams and deciding whichone you feel more comfortable with.There are also two edge cases. Those who passed the OCA 6 exammust still take the 1Z0-815 exam. The OCA 6 exam covered far lessmaterial than the OCA 7 or 8.Additionally, those who passed the OCP 7 or 8 exam but neverreceived the OCP title because they didn't pass the OCA exam, need totake the 1Z0-815 exam. After that, you have a choice of the 1Z0-816exam or the 1Z0-817 exam.If you're not sure which exam you should take, you canpost questions onCodeRanch.com, and the community will be happyto help. You might even get a response from Scott or Jeanne!Taking the Upgrade ExamThe chapters of this book are structured for those taking the 1Z0-816Programmer II exam. As we said earlier, though, you can easily rely onthis book to prepare for the 1Z0-817 exam. If, after reading theprevious section, you decide to take the 1Z0-817 exam, then youshould be aware that the objectives between the two exams are not the

This appendix includesmaterial you would have learned when taking the 1Z0-815Programmer I exam that you will need to know for the 1Z0-817 exam.Because of this, you should actually read this appendix first. Forexample, you need to first know how to create a module before you cancreate a module service in Chapter 6, “Modular Applications.”While we think every chapter is worth reading, here are some chaptersyou can skip if you are taking the 1Z0-817 exam:Chapter 2, “Annotations”Chapter 8, “I/O”Chapter 10, “JDBC”Chapter 11, “Security”For other chapters, the 1Z0-817 exam may involve understanding theentire chapter or select portions of the chapter. We've included amapping of all of the upgrade exam objectives and their associatedchapters in the “Reviewing Exam Objectives” section of thisintroduction.Changes to the ExamAt the time of this book being published, all OCP 11 certification examscontain 80 questions and have a duration of 3 hours. The 1Z0-816exam requires a passing score of 63 percent, while the 1Z0-817 examrequires a passing score of 61 percent.Oracle has a tendency to fiddle with the length of the exam and thepassing score once it comes out. Oracle also likes to “tweak” the examtopics over time. It wouldn't be a surprise for Oracle to make minorchanges to the exam objectives, the number of questions, or thepassing score after this book goes to print.If there are any changes to the exam after this book is published, wewill note them on the book page of our blog.

Study Guide Exam 1Z0-816 and Exam 1Z0-817 (2020) - Page 31 preview imagewww.selikoff.net/ocp11-2Exam QuestionsThe exams consist entirely of multiple-choice questions. There arebetween four and seven possible answers. If a question has more thanone answer, the question specifically states exactly how many correctanswers there are. This book does not do that. We say “Choose all thatapply” to make the questions harder. This means the questions in thisbook are generally harder than those on the exam. The idea is to giveyou more practice so you can spot the correct answer more easily onthe real exam.If you read about older versions of the exam online, you might seereferences to drag-and-drop questions. These questions had you do apuzzle on how to complete a piece of code. Luckily, these are no longeron the exam.Many of the questions on the exam are code snippets rather than fullclasses. Saving space by not including imports and/or class definitionsleaves room for lots of other code. For example, it is common to comeacross classes on the exam with portions omitted, like so:public class Zoo {String name;// Getters/Setters/Constructors omitted}In this case, you would assume methods likegetName()andsetName(),as well as related constructors, exist. For example, we would expectthis code to compile:var name = new Zoo("Java Zoo").getName();Out-of-Scope MaterialWhen you take the exam, you may see some questions that appear tobe out of scope.Don't panic!Often, these questions do not requireknowing anything about the topic to answer the question. Forexample, after reading this book, you should be able to spot that thefollowing does not compile, even if you've never heard ofLocalDate
