Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press).

Hi, I am planning to appear in the 1Z0-051 test. and got the book (OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press). this is an old copy, and does not have the CD with the sample exam.
Are the questions on the exam CD same as at the end of the book, or are those different than those in the book. I don't want to buy the book, if I don't have to.

Saying that you do not want to buy a book does not endear you to the auhors
Nore that I am only a part author of that one, my colleague Roopesh was an equal (or greater) contributor.
I have not gone through the material on the CD, but I was under the impression that it was the same as the printed content. Certainly what I have seen of all the illegal copies that criminals put up on web sites for thieves to download suggests that. THere are other sets of a few hundred questions on the McGraw-Hill website, I think if you can demonstrate that your copy is legal you will have access to them.
Overall, I would make two suggestions. First, do not rely on dummy questions. They are not the real thing (which would be illegal) and all they do is lt you confirm that you have studied the relevant material. There is absolutely no point in repeating them unil you get all right, which is what some people do. Second, do not do that exam at all, it is out of date. Do the 1z0-061 exam insead. Roopesh's book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071820280 is excellent.

    There are no specifically exam focused books for these exams now or in the pipeline as far as I am aware. (This is the cause in fact for the majority of oracle certification examinations that are available).
    If not, please also let me know the best books to study for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams?
    This has been discsussed previously on the forum.
    Some simple searching yields for example : {thread:id=1025815}
    The Oracle Documentation itself is in fact quite good, and sometimes IMHO better than the books!

  • 1Z0-051 Oracle Certification - OCA

    Hi. I am in a fix and so need your help.
    I am planning to give 1Z0-051 Oracle Certification exam(Oracle Database 11g- SQL fundamentals). However, I will be unable to give my 1Z0-052 exam(Oracle Database 11g- Administration-I) at this time. So, if I give only 1Z0-051 exam, then will it carry some weightage in my resume? Also, if I pass the 1Z0-051 exam, then how should I put it in my resume? That I am a Oracle Certified individual?

    (If you need proof of this copy the report from the test center ... you cannot really get from of this from Oracle. Certview will publish certifcations, not exam passes). If you take this online there is no proof it was you you actually took the exam).
    However you are not Oracle certified and must not put that in your resume ... you may only put it in your resumé when you have proof from Oracle you have been awarded a Certification.
    The weight of this exam pass, and indeed any exam pass or certification, can depend on the reader(s) of the resumé; and the nature of job you are applying for; and the strength of the other candidates for the job. Suppose an employer was looking for CV's for a DBA job. Assuming the HR/agencies let the CV's through they might get (in practice a higher number of DBA OCPs might be expected):
    Person with a 1z0-051 pass and degree and no experience.
    5 with 9i DBA OCP, most with MA degrees, with no experience
    10g DBA OCA obtained 3 years ago with no experience.
    Apparently experienced DBA with no formal qualifications and no degree.
    Now the first and last candidates have a high probability of being what they say they are, but the first wuld be no good if an experienced DBA was needed. It would be necessary at interview to be careful to check the others had the experience level claimed due to certifications being obtained though cheating and fraud. Its also worth noting DBA OCA does not cover backups / restores in depth.
    However if what was needed was someone to query database results as a result of some tests the first candidate might acutally be the most suitable .. assuming he has studied the 1z0-051 carefully. The 10g OCA might not have done SQL ... the experienced DBA might feel that was not a suitable job for him, and the 9i DBA OCPs may have rushed (or cheated) their way through 1z0-007 as quickly as possible and would not be interested / capablle of this work.
    (Please note this article is biased against 9i DBA OCP ... at one point my understanding is there was a particularly high level of cheating/fraud against this certification and some poor training from some WDP institutions ... which is a pity for those achieving the certification through due work and good training).

    Hi everyone,
    I just did the quiz available on the CD a few times. Now, I just realized that the practice CD quiz's answers is filled of mistakes.
    Example:
    ... MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION ...
    Below are the answers given at the end of the quiz by the CD:
    Correct Answer:
    .... whatever ...
    MY ANSWER:
    ... my answer ...
    I tried these options on SQL developer, and I can assure that C. AND E. should be the one not working. Is it just me or is this CD filled with mistakes!?!?!?
    Even in the book there were countless typos and spelling mistakes toward the end...
    Now I am left doubting the study guide provided with the book!I REALLY dislike it when people pur multiple choice questions on the forum. Perhaps its just me, but the publishing of these questions simply will end up leading to copyright breaches or worse.
    There are (at least) two books you could be talking about. (and i'm not going to bother working out which one it is).
    The existing errate for one of them (Watson et al) is here : [http://www.mhprofessional.com/downloads/products/0071597867/0071597867_errata.txt]
    It is a right pain these books and associated CDROMs contain mistakes. In general the situation is probably getting a little better as the years go on.
    The correct procedure for a book mistake is to:
    (0) check the errata.
    (1) Try it for oneself.
    (2) Check it with a peer.
    (3) Contact the author publisher.
    Publishing the authors's work on the world wide web is probably not the way to go.
    If at all possible try not to publish the whole question.
    As this is not a high stakes exam I am probably ranting more than i should .....
    Despite mistakes the book it overall quite valuable.
    In my opnion the publsihing of mulitple choice questions by candidates can easily end up where someone slips up and publishes something stupid like a real exam question .... and then there's trouble for everybody and someone could end up getting exam results taken away and stuff.
    As I say this rant is merely my personal opinion and is not authorative.

    can you refer a sybex book for this,so that can tally the explanations?...............
    For anyone who has SQL experience, or has studied SQL as part of a WDP, or has a general SQL book already then either of the two books (+ their associated practice test in book and on CDROM should be adequate for 1z0-051:I did not get any testkit CDROM forr 007 even.as i am under WDP for 9i.
    * ISBN-13: 978-0071597869: OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press)i found 2008 edition in our local market.so ISBN no. did not match.
    * ISBN-13: 978-0470395127: OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) (Sybex)this book (probably written by Biju Thomas).
    The first is usually cheaper, the second while more expensive also covers 1z0-052. I have seen the first book and it is adequate ; and I know of no reason why the second should not be adequate too. While for the self studying for OCA/OCP 10g/11g candidates i somtimes hint to people they should consider getting both Oracle Press and Sybex books; for this exam i tend to think this is not so necessary for most people.
    wrt the book you referenced:
    * ISBN-13: 978-0071498500: Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)
    This book is designed to cover 11g SQL in general. It is more orientated towards learning and reference. While not tied to an exam it does probably cover most (if not all) topics needed for 1z0-047. Probably most professionals would find it as easy to look up oracle documentation most of the time. I actually have it, mainly because I it was an easy way for me to get a grip on the newer ANSI join forms whcih I am less useful. I cant say its not useful, but certainly some people would find it of limited use and others are quite happy with it.This book still to come in local market(india).
    Thanx.whatever..........but remember this sybex books have very little hands on practice.ie.hardly you will find a query that is left for your practice.All of questions in MCQ basis.

  • What is another schema name in oracle 1z0-051 exam ?

    hi all
    i want to prepare oracle 1z0-051 , i study SQL tutorial (HR schema) , and i have seen some  questions. but some of tables is like (sales , customers ,promotion ...ets)
    What are the schemas in this exam ? by the way all samples schema install in my database
    and thx advace

    In the exam you will get the snippet of the code that includes table structure and may be data in some tables in some questions. But every time they are different. so my advice is that you need to understand how to read a table definition and interpret. dont just mug up the things. Go to oracle documentation and read and try get the concept right.
    I followed the book 'Oracle 11g- SQL Fundamental Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)' it nearly covered all the topics and have good examples at the end of the chapter. happy studying.
    You cane refer to 'http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/sql/11g-schemamanagement-089869.html'

    Preparation time depends on the individual and how much time they have. Do not be surprised if your preparation time for 1z0-051is shorter than that for 1z0-052. Also be aware if you want to move to DBA OCP you need mandatory training at some point

  • How to pass 1Z0-051 exam

    I prepared to this exam well by reading and implementing the book topics of "OCA Oracle Database 11g:SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)" + plus articles reads from Oracle website itself; but unfortunately i failed twice, the reason isn't that i did not digest the SQL material or found hard topics to understand, but it is more about the timing of the exam which it limit my thinking process and make me confuse to select the right answer; as you have 70 questions to read, understand, deduce and then answer, as in average time for each question is one minutes and twenty seconds.
    I admitted that sometimes i have problem in calculation, but i believe if time is aloud more to me i would easily figure out the question.
    I need some advice and instruction here if that possible.

    Edited by: user12108967 on Feb 15, 2010 2:02 PMI guess first check this: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/10/question_of_the_day_how_to_pre.html]
    and this [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=179]
    You don't mention if you took this test online .... for various reason my personal opinion is people may be under more time pressure taking it online. I have read somewhere also that if you retake an exam within 5 days you are statisitically almost highly likely to fail it again.
    The time element is obviously one part of these exams. 1z0-051 can be done within the time with a little to spare.
    Not all questions will take the same amount of time.
    In a proctored exam you have the following aids available to you:-
    - A timer indicating time left
    - The ablility to mark a question for review later.
    - The ability to leave a question blank.
    - The ability to make notes on wipe board.
    Decide a strategy of how you are going to approach questions. For instance i may choose to:
    - If I know the answer to a question straight away, mark it, double check then move to next question.
    - If I am unsure mark the question, make best possilble answer, note on my wiprepad any certaily wrong answers.
    - If I think I am going to take too long on a question (more than 2 mins) make notes of where I'm at, mrk it for review and move on.
    Basically you should be able to get through some questions fairly quickly. Others may take longer.
    You may also be resented with exhibits and things ..... its very easy to take too much time looking at all the information and getting overwhelmed.
    Read the question, elminate wrong answers and move on as quickly as possilbe.
    The should already have been practice exams on the CDROM with the book you have bought. These are less useful the more you use them, as you remember the answers.
    Additional practice tests can be purchased from [http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sts.html] (Either buy transcender or SelftestSoftware, not both).
    You may be able to speed up your calculations with time, however if you are having trouble with them permanently then perhaps this is not the career for you, as you may have trouble if you get a job also.
    However you may find with practice it all comes into place and you speed up.
