This book has some basic knowledge you need for the exam, and it comes with 3 practice tests online, with a total of 180 questions. The tests come with a detailed explanation for the correct answers and are really useful. Don't get discouraged if you don't get a very high score in the practice tests. They are intentionally harder than the real one.
After using this guide, I had no problem passing the exam with a good margin above the passing score.

I found the book seriously good. Explanations are clear, examples abundant, the authors provide plenty of heads up regarding potential catches on the actual exam, as well as a large amount of practice questions.
As for the exam: I would not recommend taking it to anyone at least mildly experienced in Java. Yes, I did enjoy exploring a few obscure corners and discovered a couple of misconceptions I had had about some parts of the language. But on the whole, I do not think it is going to make me a ...more

As a beginner to programming, I found this book very easy to read. There were lots of examples and tips for what to focus on for the exam. I liked the example of teaching access modifiers with a story about a duck and a swan. Using everyday objects and animals to relate examples made it easier to process and understand. I also liked the tips about programming. There are lots of questions at the end of each chapter which helped me work out the complex parts better.
Great book
Great book well written and good focus on exam questions. Useful insights in general on Java. Good read for all

Good preparation book for OCA Java SE8 programmer
I think it is the best book for self-preparing for the exam, not ideal though

Very useful book to prepare for the exam. Also has funny examples. The theory is very well explained with good code examples. Examples that work and examples that can cause problems are given
Good book for preparing to the exam, but not good to learning Java. Authors says about that so will not miss.
