11g OCP here about to take my upgrade to 12c OCP exam. The Oracle Press books are fantastic. I would say the official exam guide with the Transcender practice exams are all you need.
Here and here are the exam guides and here is the practice exam pack. These are the 11g materials, so just look for their 12c equivalents. 12c is still sort of new and most big shops haven't implemented yet so they might not exist yet.
Do you have any background with SQL? If not, take some online courses to at least get a basic understanding, then read the Oracle Press SQL exam guide to learn about extensions such as DECODE.
Give yourself at least 3-4 weeks to read the entire exam guide, take the practice exams and study the answers to all the questions before taking the OCA exam.
Finally, what's your background with Oracle? Most of the stuff is pretty tough unless you have some experience. Do you have a reliable set up via Virtual Box or maybe a test environment at work that you can trash to learn the ins and outs?
These two books are helpful for the 11g exam (also try to find some braindumps/practice exams). There are also similar books for the 12c exam if you want to go for that instead:
