12c ocp upgrade exam 1z0-060

Hi all,
currently 12c ocp upgrade exam (1z0-060) is validated against Oracle Database 12.1.0.1.0.
any idea when its going to validate against 12.1.0.2 or with some new topics as going to sit in this exam .
So to avoid any surprise near to exam date ,i would like to know is this exam stay some more time with this release or going to change soon with some more topics.
Thanks
kuljeet

I understand changes on production exams cannot be developed so easy, but regarding to this new release it could be good to analyze if could be interesting update the exam.
"Interesting' or not, making topic changes to production exams is a huge amount of work... and not just for Oracle University. When topic changes are made, such as happened with the 1Z0-047 exam on September 15th or last year, it immediately obsoletes all of the test preparation material in existence for that exam, whether it be books, study guides, or practice exams. People making use of these legacy materials are likely to be caught off guard when taking the exam and they determine that they are not prepared for the newly-added topics. It just doesn't make sense unless the changes that were made are extremely significant.  With a 'New Features' exam, it is difficult to imagine any new feature being added in a patch release that is so significant that it warrants such handling.
Any time a new release or patch comes out, OU does go through the exam to verify the existing questions still make sense.  I don't know to what level they make changes at this point. However, I am fairly certain that if, for example, in version 12.1.0.1 there was a given restriction and in 12.1.0.2 that restriction was removed... any questions on the exam that referred to the changed restriction would either be removed or altered such that the correct answer was not version-dependent.

  • 12c OCP tests ready in 2014?

    I assume that the Oracle 12c new features for administrator exams will be out before the end of 2014?  I'd like to make completing it a goal for next year.  I've seen posts about the beta exams so I assume the real exams will be out before long.  Does anyone know?
    - Bobby

    The beta for the 12c upgrade exam (1Z0-060) completed on October 5th.  The production exams are normally available about 11 weeks later.  Eleven weeks would be December 21st, but the holidays might well throw the normal schedule off.  Figure late December or early January.

  • 1z0-060 vs 1z0-067

    Hi,
    I am a Oracle 9i OCP and deciding to take upgrade exam to Oracle 12c.
    Can someone please advice me which exam I should take 1Z0-060 or 1Z0-067 ?
    Also I don not find any book on 1Z0-67 in the market but both exams seems to be priced as same.
    In case I need to sit for the 1Z0-067 exam , can I use the 1Z0-060 study material to prepare?
    Lastly, please let me know if both the certification will give the same title '12c OCP'
    Thank you

    Can someone please advice me which exam I should take 1Z0-060 or 1Z0-067 ?
    An Oracle 9i OCA would take 1Z0-067 to become an Oracle 12c OCP.
    An Oracle 9i OCP would take 1Z0-060 to become an Oracle 12c OCP.
    The end certification is the same for both exams.  1Z0-067 contains a lot more topics because it is intended to simultaneously jump releases and upgrade credentials from OCA -> OCP.
    Also I don not find any book on 1Z0-67 in the market but both exams seems to be priced as same.
    In case I need to sit for the 1Z0-067 exam , can I use the 1Z0-060 study material to prepare?
    There is currently no third-party study materials out for 1Z0-067.  I have a study guide largely completed, but I likely will not publish it until 1Z0-067 is in full production. In any event, since you indicated you are an OCP, the correct test for you is 1Z0-060, so the point is moot. You can fund links to study materials for both at the exam details page of my site:

  • Exam 1Z0-045

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently a certified 8i Oracle Database (OCP). In order to be upgraded
    to 10g Oracle Database (OCP), one exam (1Z0-045) is required. However, I
    have been looking for the studying material for that exam for some time.
    Beside the Instructor Led Training course, I cannot find any information. I
    have been searching for these for some days.
    If you are aware of any resources, books please let me know. Self test software is not ready for this exam yet.
    Thanks

    1Z0-042 + 1Z0-043 are the two components that make up a reasonable introductory 10g DBA. 1Z0-045 simply concentrates on those portions of the above two courses that an 8i OCP does not already know.
    If you know the material in 042 & 043, you have no problem with 045. If competence counts, reviewing the 042/3 material is the way to go. If getting certification through rote memorization is the goal, well ... then it's probably better to wait for the test-specific study guide.

  • 10G upgrade exam

    Hi All,
    I am preparing for Oracle9i DBA OCPs to Oracle Database 10g upgrade exam 1Z0-040.
    If anyone have sample practice questions/dumps for the same kindly send me at [email protected]
    Thanks in Advanced,
    Bhupinder

    Earlier, there use to be some kind of test dumps available for 9i and other exams. What I heared from few people that they follow the same for 10g upgrade and they failed. Because, the pattern has changed and hardly a couple of questions have come. My recommendation would be read oracle docs for 10g new features, make practice and SYBEX 10g upgrade book might also helpfull.
    Just reading dump and appearing exam could lead you to pass exam, but, ultimately, gaining nothing. Make practice and appear for the exam.

  • Regarding 10g upgrade exam

    Dear Sir,
    I m shreyas desai from mumbai. I became 9i OCP (DBA track) on 12th sept,2009.
    Now i want to give 10g upgrade exam (1z0-040). But i didn't submitted hands-on form / didn't done any course from oracle uni. Am i able to take and give the next exam?
    How can i obtain OCP Credential?

    How can i obtain OCP Credential?
    Thanks & Regards,The first thing to note is that from your email I challenge you that you are not actually a 9i DBA OCP even though you are representing yourself as one.
    Can you confirm you have received a 9i DBA Certification Success Kit from Oracle?
    If the answer is yes you have received a success kit from Oracle:
    - all well and good (and accept my apologies).
    - Taking the 1z0-040 DBA 10g upgrade exam will get your Oracle 10g OCP Certification.
    If the answer is no, and you have merely passed 1z0-007+1z0-0031+1z0-032+1z0-033 then perhaps you need to re-read the certification agreement you agreed when you took your exams:
    1) Reference: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=138]
    2) Reference: [http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/downloads/certification/certagreement.pdf]
    In particular breach of * especially 3.2 (iii) * representing yourself as OCP when not could actually result in Oracle nullifying all your exam passes and OCA certification and possibily preventing you from taking further exams.
    My guess is you may have been through a WDP program and able to submit that as your 9i online course.
    Please note if you have not received a Certification Success Kit and have and/or have not taken a hands on course there is nothing stopping you taking 1z0-040 any time you can schedule a sitting. However under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can you represent yourself as an OCP without having received the success kit (or meeting all requirements) or the consequences can be considerable.

  • Difference between Upgrade to Oracle 11g Exam and the OCP 11g exam

    Is there a difference in the Oracle Database 11g exam and OCP 11g exam?
    Say for example, i am an OCP 10g and I took the New Features Course for 11g. Then I will upgrade to OCP 11g
    or
    I will take all the courses for 11g then take OCP (do not worry, money is not an issue in this case)
    Is there a difference between the two in terms of the examination?
    Will the exams for Upgrade to OCP11g and OCP11g the same?
    Which one is harder? or easier?
    Thanks. hope to see your feedback

    I am sorry. But i din't quite understand the explanation.
    Correct me please if i am wrong.
    As I understand you:
    1. I am on OCP 10g
    2. I will need to take the exams (no need to get additional training) that need to be taken to be an OCP 11g which includes the following:
    - 1z0-051: Intro to SQL 11g
    - 1z0-052: Admin I 11g (if passed then OCA)
    - 1z0-053: Admin II 11g (if passed then OCP)
    Is this correct?Can I put it this way.
    I apologise if i am being explicit here but I am just being able to cover all angles.
    If a person is 10g OCP DBA (and has proof of this as a valid certificate from oracle or can see this on their certification status at certview.oracle.com .... I say this because some people with a 1z0-043 exam pass only may incorrectly claim they are a 10g DBA OCP) then the following routes from 10g DBA OCP to 11g DBA OCP are possible:
    1) By passing 1z0-050 ... the 11g DBA OCP should be granted with no further requirements other than the 10g DBA OCP
    2) By passing 1z0-052 and 1z0-053 ....... HOWEVER .....
    ..... It is possilble some 10g DBA OCP may not have passed an SQL exam in the past (1z0-051/047/-007/001) and if this is the case one of 1z0-051/1z0-047/1z0-007 will also need to be passed on this route (I would recommend 1z0-051).
    ( Essentially route (2) is valid for any DBA OCP; there is a 1z0-055 single upgrade exam for 9i DBA OCP's)
    It is recommended to find and check your existing certification under certification history (+not exam history ... that doesnt matter for this purpose+) under certview.oracle.com before starting on this route.

  • OCP Exam 1Z0-040: Installation Performance

    OCP People,
    I'm looking at topic areas for the OCP Exam 1Z0-040.
    I'm curious about this topic:
    "Installation Performance Enhancements"
    What should I know about it?
    Do many Oracle DBAs think that Oracle 8i,9i installation is too slow?
    Perhaps 10g installation is faster?
    When I see the term "Performance Enhancements", assuming I'm not reading a spam,
    I expect a discussion about speed.
    Perhaps there is more to it?
    Maybe aside from duration, the 10g install is less likely to error out
    or provide a better installation experience?
    This could actually be a broad topic. I'm not sure what parts of it
    the author of OCP Exam 1Z0-040 wants me to focus upon.
    Thoughts anyone?
    -Owen

    There are improvements with the OUI installation process. Can you list these? Do you know what is different between the 9i and 10g install screens? Have you looked at the New Features manual?

    Edited by: user647572 on Dec 26, 2011 5:10 AMI dispair when an Oracle Certified Professional says he does not have 'preapartion material' and asks for a PDF link.
    .... The most likely response is from someone training to sell unauthorised learning materials.
    ..... The OCP should understand the exams topics and online manuals for 11g should be sufficient. Oracle Press Books and Sybex Books for 11g DBA OCP should also cover number of the required topics if that helps. Not to mention Oracle University Training.
    ...... But an OCP asking for a 'PDF' or 'PPT' for the 1z0-055 exam ??????? .... what form of content are you thinking?

  • Hmm...seems there is no upgrade from 1Z0-042 to 1Z0-052

    Hi guys,
    As Im currently holding 1z0-042 certificate I was planning to take
    1z0-052 as well by upgrading it but on oracle's site amongst available
    upgrade exams i cannot find this one. Strange though, there is update
    exam from 1z0-043 to 1z0-053.
    Maybe 1z0-042 -- 1z0-052 upgrade is mentioned "somewhere else" that i missed out ???
    Guys, please share what you know about it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.bigdelboy shares ......
    People often mix the exams entity and the Certifications entity, and that doesn't help their understanding of things.
    These is not actually a '1z0-042' certificate. There is a 10g DBA OCA certificate which indicates oracle has confirmed you have met the associated requirements (A 1z0-042 exma pass and an SQL exam pass (or SQL exam exemption).
    There is no 'update exam from 1z0-043 to 1z0-053.'. The is however an exam 1z0-050 that can be used by a 10g DBA OCP to attain a 11g DBA OCP certiifcation.
    So with reqard to your question, which I shall rephase as why isn't there a upgrade certification from 10g DBA OCA to 11g DBA OCA like there is from 10g DBA OCP to 11g DBA OCP ?
    I will suggest reasons as follows:-
    - A 10g DBA OCP needing to get to 11g DBA OCP would need to take 2 exams rather than the one upgrade exam.
    - The upgrade exam can specifically focus on new features in 11g ... This allows/forces/enables the OCP upgrade candidate to go into depth on new features of 11g.
    - - - This is good for the candidate and for Oracle.
    - The 10g DBA OCA candidate needing 11g DBA OCA can obtain it by taking the 1z0-052 anyway. (and there is 80% commonality of topics betwen 1z0-042 and 1z0-052).
    ---- (Note if someone has taken 1z0-042 previously but does not have an SQL exam pass this would be needed in addition to 1z0-052).
    - It is more important a Candidate shows mastery of the DBA by takingtopics in the 1z0-043/1z0-053 sections than redoing DBA OCA topics.
    There was something else I was doing tosay but i've forgotton it.

  • Regarding  OCP-10g Exams Certification

    Dear Team,
    I am planning for OCP-10g Exams (042/043). I have done OCA 9i (DBA Track) last year.
    With my current Project recommendation, I am going to attend "Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g: Manage Clusterware and ASM Release 2" training by Oracle University on 11-Apr-2011.
    As per compulsory Training Program for OCP-10g, do I need to take any other Training related to Oracle 10g or the above training (11g) will be suffice for OCP-10g Certification (If I complete Exams 042/043)
    Kindly update me, so that I can plan accordingly.
    Thanks,
    Tusar

    Thanks Bigdelboy for you reply..
    So, what do you suggest regarding the certification which one would be better 10g OCP(1z0-042/043) or directly 11g OCP(1zo-052/053)?
    Thanks,
    TusarIncreasingly an 11g DBA OCP certification will be preferable to a 10g DBA OCP certification.
    Most sites will be looking to upgrade existing 10g databases to 11g databases over the next couple of years, and relatively few sites will have 10g and not be looking to upgrade.
    I would say the following reasons are why someone would want to go for 10g DBA OCP rather than 11g DBA OCP.
    (1) They have attended training which is a suitable qualifying course for 10g DBA OCP but not for 11g DBA OCP. This can be a very important (big money) reason.
    (2) They are very familiar with 1z0-043 topics that are relevant to 10 DBA OCP but less familiar with 1z0-053 topics.
    (3) They wish to get both certifications via 1z0-042 - 1z0-043 - 1z0-050 for instance (you could also do 1z0-052+1z0-053 instead of 1z0-050). Obvioulsy this takes time and expense.
    In general I suspect study for 1z0-052 might take a number of people a little longer than 1z0-042, and the study for 1z0-053 might take maybe a couple of weeks longer than for 1z0-043.
    Overall the choice is yours.

  • Which book topics to follow for exam 1Z0-007? Sybex or Oracle press?

    Hi, I am studying following both books for exam 1Z0-007 but sybex book by Chip Dawes covers more topics then oracle book. I am wondering if i still need to study those topics in sybex book which are not covered in oracle press book? For example DML Locks have been discussed in detail in sybex book as compare to oracle book and few topics are missing in oracle press and don't know if there will be any question in the exam from those topics?
    1) OCP Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL Exam Guide by Jason Couchman
    2) OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide by Chip Dawes, Biju Thomas
    Can anyone pls advise? Also i like to know if SelfTest software covers same questions which are in sybex and oracke press book? Because SelfTest software has same questions for microsoft exams which are already in the cd of microsoft official press books.

    The proper method is to look at the exam topics on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_007] which is authorative.
    either the Sybex or Oracle Press book is authorative, and sometimes exam changes after these are printed (with revision from 9iR1 to9iR2 for example).
    In general you should probably have enough material in the two books given for this exam. Its probably cheaper to take the exam itself rather than buy additional Selftest questions. Your time may well be better spent practicing the things you have trouble with. Also be aware these books can have errors. And learn whichever is in either book even if it isnt examined. Its good for you!

Maybe you are looking for
