1z0-144 or 1z0-147

hi my name is Tarun Bharti
currently i am doing oracle pl/sql developer certified associate.i had clear the 1z0-007 exam now for the next step i have to clear one of the exam 1z0-144 or 1z0-147.
which one i should choose
help me guys

I've gotten all of my certificates within just a 2-3 weeks, but I'm in the US and they can send via US Postal service. If you are overseas, it will take longer simply because of the method required to ship the certificate. Some people complain they don't get theirs for upwards of eight weeks. However, from all that I've see on this board, that normally boils down to Oracle having the wrong shipping address for them. Verify that your testing center has the correct address from the beginning and you you should avoid this.
If you end up taking multiple exams, make sure that all of them use the same candidate ID. This is important -- don't create multiple candidate IDs or you will regret it sooner or later. Possibly sooner and later.

    Please tell me, i will go with which exam 1z0-147 or 1z0-144?
    i never worked on oracle higher then 10g, but my Senior says go with 1z0-144.
    please help.

    1Z0-144 is the better test.  I wrote an article comparing the two and explaining why I recommend taking 144 here:

  • Exams 1Z0-141 and 1Z0-147 Not Retiring

    Retirement for exams 1Z0-141 and 1Z0-147 has been postponed. Upon further assessment, there appears to still be a significant enough group of individuals taking these two exams that we have chosen to postpone their retirement at this time. There is not a current retirement date for these two exams. Exams 1Z0-141 and 1Z0-147 will remain available after July 31, 2013.

    Certification Forum ModeratorMy opinion is:
    Particularly in the 1z0-147 case this exam is more open to braindump abuse than the later 1z0-144. In both cases a candidate of one of those exams should be able to transition to studying for the other without overmuch effort. Indeed if they had passed their certification we would expect them to do that.
    Having said that it may be that WDP (and others), but it is WDP that counts, have been training people towards 1z0-147/141 rather than 1z0-144/1z0-151; and if this was the case Oracle owes care to these people.
    1z0-147 exams rely on training on software that can not longer be downloaded from OTN.
    My concern, and it is perhaps legitimate to ask the concern, is that they is simple number counting being done here as opposed to 'why?'.

  • Books for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144

    Hello all,
    I'm planning to study for "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" certification. I was planning to prepare for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144 as both of those exams are validated against Oracle Database 11g.
    I was wondering if any of guys here can help me out with the couple of questions that I have.
    1. Which one would you recommend among the two of the below exams?
    1Z0-047 (Oracle Database SQL Expert)
    or
    1Z0-051 (Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I)
    2. What books should I refer for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144? I read a lot of threads about this topic. But, I haven't found a proper answer yet, which is why I'm posting this question again.
    For 1Z0-047, I saw people recommending the following:
    OCA Oracle Database SQL Expert Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-047 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) by Steve O'Hearn
    OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass
    For 1Z0-144, I saw people recommending the following:
    Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (Animal Guide) by Steven Feuerstein and Bill Pribyl
    OCP Developer PL/SQL Program Units Exam Guide by Steve O'Hearn
    I kindly request you guys to help me out as I don't have much idea about these books. It would be really great if someone who has passed the exams or read these books throw some light on these.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

    I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
    Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
    The two exams I will be taking are the :
    1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
    1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
    So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
    If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

    Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams.  I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144.  I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however.  The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
    As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle).  You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle).  You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only).  I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise.  Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements.  I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

    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!

    Good morning,
    There are a couple of references you should look at.
    First: Oracle Certification Program Fraudulent Activity Policy
    Oracle reserves the right to take action against any candidate involved in fraudulent activities, including, but not limited to, fraudulent use of vouchers, promotional codes, reselling exam discounts and vouchers, cheating on an exam, alteration of score reports, alteration of completion certificates, violation of exam retake policies or other activities deemed fraudulent by Oracle.
    If Oracle determines, in its sole discretion, that fraudulent activity has taken place, it reserves the right to take action up to and including, but not limited to, decertification of a candidate's Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Certified Professional and/or OCM credentials, temporary, indefinite or permanent ban of a candidate from Oracle certification programs, notification to a candidate's employer, and notification to law enforcement agencies. Candidates found committing fraudulent activities forfeit all fees previously paid to Oracle, or to Oracle's authorized vendors, and may be required to pay additional fees for services rendered.
    Brain Dumps are illegal. Do NOT use them.
    Second: www.google.com with the search criteria: 1z0-144 study material
    You will find: Study Guide: [url: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1478217995]1Z0-144.

  • 1z0-144 PL/SQL Programming Recommended books

    Hello everybody,
    I am studying for the 1z0-144 exam, and I need a few suggestions on the study materials.
    I have already downloaded the PL/SQL Language Reference guide and Matthew Morris certification guide, and I am wondering whether it is worth investing on one of these two books:
    1) Oracle PL/SQL Programming by Steven Feuerstein and Bill Pribyl (It has very good reviews on Amazon)
    2) Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press) by Michael McLaughlin  (It does not have good reviews as many readers complain about typos and redundant content)
    Alternatively I have also seen the Oracle Database 12c PL/SQL Programming book also by Michael McLaughlin.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Good Luck,
    Well I have both at  McLaughlin(11g) and Feuerstein (5th edition) .... my  Feuerstein is more ragged from use.  Neither of these are exam oriented but are more for learning the language; which is actually what in the end you need to do even more than learning the exam.  McLaughlin has stuff in it which usually at any point in time I really don't what to know.  I'm reluctant to recommend Mclaughim over Feuerstein for the versions I have if for no other reason than the font, layout and structure works better from Feuerstein for me.
    Both of these books have editions are out for 12cR1 and consider getting the latest.  Getting an earlier edition cheap second hand might work as well.  At present on Amazon UK the latest Feuerstein on kindle is just over half the price of the paperback ... sometimes I find some books are not on good on kindle etc but Feuerstein is a lump to cart around.
    Don't discount putting funnel's the concise expert guide to PL/SQL on your kindle either.
    See what others say anyway. 

  • Guidence for 1z0-144 certification

    Hi,
    Please refer below oracle thread ..

  • Could I take 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-047 together?

    Hi, I am currently planning to take a Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate. At first, I plan to take the path of 1Z0-047 + 1Z0-144 which leads to this certification, because the 1Z0-047 itself is also leading to another cert (Oracle SQL Expert cert). So if I take this path, I would end up with two certifications (Oracle SQL Expert cert and PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate)
    However, people keep on telling me that 1Z0-047 is very difficult, saying that 1Z0-051 is much easier if I want to guarantee a PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate.
    So, is it possible that I take all three exams (1Z0-051, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-144)? I am thinking that taking 1Z0-051 as a kind of "practice" because it is an online exam and the exam scope looks easy to me. Also I have some budgets allocated to me so I don't mind spend a little bit extra money to Oracle exams.
    I'm just wondering whether two of them (051, 047) are mutually exclusive in the exam policy or something.

    So, is it possible that I take all three exams (1Z0-051, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-144)?Yes, you may take both 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-047. In fact, I would highly recommend taking 1Z0-051 before taking 1Z0-047. You have heard correctly, 047 is a much more difficult exam and requires a considerably higher level of SQL experience/knowledge. If you look at the study topics for both tests, you'll see that 1Z0-047 includes essentially all of the topics from 1Z0-051, and has another thirty-some topics in addition. Studying for 1Z0-051 is in itself preparation for taking the expert test. I discuss the two exams in an article here:
    http://www.gocertify.com/articles/oracle-sql-certification-1z0-051-or-1z0-047.html

  • Differences between 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053 and 11g OCP

    Hi All
    I have a small dilemma
    For Christmas I was given a copy of OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide with CD-ROM: Exams 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-All-Guide-CD-ROM/dp/0071629181/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262090730&sr=1-5|http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-All-Guide-CD-ROM/dp/0071629181/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262090730&sr=1-5]
    As you will see in the book title it covers 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053
    About a year ago I attended the following courses
    TT - Oracle D/B 10g Program PL/SQL-QA-IQ
    TT - Oracle PL/SQL - GK
    TT - Oracle 10g Intro to SQL
    I have been meaning to get round to taking my exams and OCA qualification is no problem as I can take 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 using the above book and the knowledge I gained on the course (even though the course was 10g).
    But my question surrounds 11g OCP and how it requires instructor led training - now I have done my 10g course but I guess this wont count as an instructor led course for 11g OCP.
    If not then im going to need to take the route of 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 to get OCP and 1Z0-050 to upgrade to 11g
    So I would ask how safe I would be learning the above mentioned book and taking the 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 exams. I understand there is no accurate answer as it is subjective but if 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053 (11g) knowledge covers 1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043 (10g) knowledge then there should be no problem, right?
    I really dont want to have to take the book back or purchase another.
    Thanks in advance

    Think of it as an opporunity
    For Christmas I was given .... (Take me to your santa ...)
    .... (snipped)
    Thanks in advance
    RobYour'e thinking sensibly about this. Well done. And the hands on course needs to be considered carefully and I often say this can be deciding factor in planning.
    IMHO there is at least 80% commonality between the topics for 1z0-042 AND 1Z0-052 .... and probably similar for 1z0-043 and 1z0-053 whoug I've never directly checked this and there may be a greater divergence there.
    Be aware some topics in 1z0-050 will not be covered in the books you have as far as I am aware.
    One option you have not considered is taking exams in this order ..... this will give you 10g OCP and 11g OCP. This is wha I did .... but it mainly occured that for me way as the 1z0-053 was fairly delayed into production and I wanted the certificates I could have as soon as possilble .... ie 10gDBAOCP and 11gDBAOCA. I actually did the 1z1-053 beta for my 11g DBA OCP ... cheaper than 1z0-050 as I already had 11g DBA OCA.
    1z0-051 1z0-042 1z0-052 1z0-043 1z0-053.
    I know you dont want to buy another book, but the 10g ones from Sybex (and associated CDROM's) give a slightly different viewpoint (though they are for 10gR1 and are not updated for 10gR2 topics). IMHO the sybex books can ometimes go a little over the top in some areas. But all these books can contain some errors ... however they do provide an extra set of practice questions. However it is an option for you.
    Its worth registering your 10g course as a hands on course as soon as reasonably possible to ensure there are no issues with it (I assume you have attended the course from Oracle University).
    Anyway these are my thoughts. But you know your own circumstances and are responsible for your own decisions. Good Luck.

    Online exams are non-proctored, which means that you can take them at your convenience any time, anywhere. Pre-registration is not required. You register when you are ready to take the exam.
    Online exams are closed-book exams --- books, course materials and notes are not allowed. You should prepare for them fully and rely on your own mastery of the material.
    Candidates who take the online exams are subject to the Oracle Fraudulent Activity policy and must agree to the Oracle Candidate Agreement (presented at the beginning of the exam). You should never have someone take the exam for you. You should never test under a name other than your own, and/or test using more than one name or Prometric Testing ID.
