Recently I have attended the Oracle 12C OCM upgrade exam and i can tell you that it's not easy exam considering the amount of topics covered in one.
If you are also looking to attend in near future you need to be quick if planing to attend in Europe as all of Oracle education/Examination Centre are scheduled to close. last one will be Oracle Netherlands in Utrecht by end of April 2017.
Post April 2017 all exam are expected to conducted only in Reading, UK in Europe reason, not sure if UK will still be in EU that time. :-)
Even though 12.2 is out from some time on cloud and now in Premise as well from Feb 2017 but Exam is still tested against 12.1.0.2.0. But we might see some changes adapted to 12.2. We expect oracle will announce before adapting this.
During my preparation i noticed Oracle education website changed and in some cases i could not even find the topic details, however they seems to appear again now, so i thought to share with everyone before it disappear again there,
Passing score for this exam is :Overall 60%
I remember not all module need 60% to pass, like Module 2 (Data and Performance Management) need only 32% but overall must be 60% , but this information is not available anymore on website. i will update if manage to find somewhere.

Please be aware OCM profiles are no longer hosted like with static URL, its now simply show your OTN profile.
New URL is https://community.oracle.com/community/technology_network_community/certification/ocm where all OCM' are displayed in very unstructured way. :-( , I Personally didn't like it, but doesn't really matter.
