1z0-804 vs 1z0-810

Is it advisable to take 1z0-804 OCP Java SE 7 Programmer II now or wait for the newer 1z0-810 OCP Java SE 8 Programmer exam to come out?

Unfortunately at the time of this post I am unable to verify the following as the certification/upgrade requirements for java se 8 OCP at http://certification.oracle.com is not behaving in my opinion.
I cannot therefore authoratively check key points of what i am saying.
I assume you are a java SE 7 OCA ... or you would not be asking that question.  The rest of this post assumes this assumptions is correct.
My understanding is 1z0-804 which is available how will get you to java 7 SE OCP.
My understanding is 1z0-810 is an OCP UPGRADE exam.  It will get a Java SE 7 (other versions also perhaps) to Java 8 SE OCP .  I think it is in planned beta until late april; and production from late june of thereabouts.  Nobody will get this certification until june.
( Should you take 1z0-810 without being a JAVA [7] OCP you will received no certification for it until you pass 1z0-804 to upgrade your Java 7 OCA ).
The other route to Java SE 8 OCP would be 1z0-808 to Java 8 SE OCA and what I assume will be an as yet unannounce 1z0-809? (TBC) which will be the Java 8 SE equivalent of 1z0-804.  Expect this to beta perhaps late summer with production and certification awards from mid to late autumn.
The simple answer, In my opinion, and I am 75% certain of this, and you are reponsible for you own actions, is that 1z0-804 probably  ought to be your choice, and to perhaps follow it with 1z0-810 sometime.

    states that Prior Certification Requirements for Java SE 7 Programmer II 1Z0-804 exam is Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 7 Programmer exam.
    But there are Java SE 8 Programmer I 1Z0-808 certification available. Can it be considered satisfactory for 1Z0-804?
    By the way, when these requirements are checked? Right now I'm able to schedule 1Z0-804 exam at pearsonvue.com despite I have no Associate Java SE 7 Programmer certificate.

    My understanding ( which is not authoritative) is that a version 'x+1' OCA cannot be used in conjunction with version 'x' 'OCP' exam to produce an version 'x' certification.
    One reason I can think of is some topics in the 'OCA' exam of release 'x' might move to the 'OCP' exam of version 'x+1'; or vice versa.  The other reason is oracle want to encourage you to go for the later release and not to give you an incentive to go for a lower release as OCP.  If you want to go for OCP at the the lower release then doing the OCA at the lower level should not be a big ask.

    Exams can be scheduled whenever you like in whatever order you like.
    Effectively when Pearson VUE notifies Oracle of an exam pass or [successful course verification ... which is treated like a pseudo exam pass] the candidate's exam history is examined to trigger any new certifications for which the candidate has become eligible.

  • 1Z0-803 or 1Z0-850?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to take the Java Associate Programmer exam (and after that, the OCP for Java). I have 2 points of view, and i need an advice/recommendation. So:
    1) Take 1Z0-850 (Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 5/SE 6, which covers topics such as Fundamental Object-Oriented Concepts, Java Implementation of Object-Oriented Concepts and so on, not covered in 1Z0-803), and then 1Z0-851 to become a Java SE 6 Certified Professional.
    2) Take directly 1Z0-803 (Java SE 7 Associate), which does not cover topics such as the basics of OO and other introductory notions about the Java Language and the architecture, etc (as 1Z0-850), but contains just "techincal" topics (Working With Java Data Types, Arrays, etc).
    Maybe if i opt for 2), i should already have knowledge of those introductory concepts about Java and OO? or it is not mandatory..
    I think if i take first 1Z0-850, and then 1Z0-851 - Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 6 Programmer, and then upgrading the certification to Java SE 7 Professional, i will pay much more ( than taking 1Z0-803 and finally 1Z0-804 to become an OCP (so just 2 exams)
    So what do you recommend, option 1 or 2?
    One more question: when i go to "Upgrade an existing certification", at http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:JSE7Prog#1 , i see that only "Professional" certifications can be upgraded (Any version Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer OR Any version Sun Certified Java Programmer); so Associate cannot be? e.g. upgrading from 1Z0-850 to 1Z0-803 (which i have mentioned above)

    IMHO For certifications in general:
    (1) For most people, unless there are other factors, taking certification on the latest version would seem usually to be the sensible course. Factors against it might include for example if training, especially and mandatory training, for the earlier version was more accessible or cheaper.
    (2)
    - Typically for OCA's the difference between OCA(ver (x)) and OCA(ver (x-1)) will be one exam. On this basis there is no point for Oracle(or the candidate) in an upgrade exam, simply take the OCA(ver (x)) exam.
    - IMHO It is also important for OCA's to focus on getting to OCP standard which should provide a fuller and more rounded view of the product; rather than concentrating on new features.
    - (The typical example here would be 1z0-053 which concentrates a lot on backup ... would one want a DBA OCA focusing on exotic new features before he has demonstrated mastery of backup).
    - For OCP to (ver (x)) from (OCP (ver (x-1)) via OCA would be 2 exams (twice the cost). An upgrade exam here is a single exam cost.
    - The upgrade exam here allows Oracle to focus on OCP level candidates concentrating on the new features of the latest version, where their knowledge gap will be.
    - (and also where Oracle needs to get this knowledge into the community).

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-051 can be passed from home???

    i had come to know that exams 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-051 can be passed from home at http://oracle.prometric.com/ as this test does not require a proctor sign-in (test supervisor). so does this mean that i could write these exams in my home without visiting prometric centers??? or does that mean something else??
    and how about the exam
    1Z0-001 Introduction to Oracle: SQL® and PL/SQL™.
    please let me know.
    Thank you.

    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.

  • 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:

    I would like to take the basic certifications like 1Z0-204 (ESSENTIALS), 1Z0-225 (INV and PUR) and 1Z0-226 (INV and OM) for further growth opportunities. Since i am totally new to SCM field, i would like to know if the materials(Student Guides) given by Oracle University would be sufficient for my preparation or should i have some implementation exp before i take up these exams.
    Please note i am not asking for dumps, just want to know if the materials given by ORACLE UNIVERSITY are enough for my preparations. Are questions based out of those slides or do they come from implementation exp as well. Seniors who have recently taken up these exams, please guide me.

    Krishnakumar NI never attempted those exams but I can speak of my experience with 11i/R12 Sysadmin, Apps DBA, and 9i/10g/11g OCP certification that most questions are from the student guides. However, having experience with implementation might make it easier for you.

  • 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:
    Oracle Certification Prep: Exam details and preparation resources for 1Z0-060
    Oracle Certification Prep: Exam details and preparation resources for 1Z0-067

  • Should get 1Z0-051 or 1Z0-052

    Hi there,
    i'm thinking to get OCA, which exam should i go first?
    1Z0-051 or 1Z0-052. Please advice.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I would also recommend taking the SQL exam first. You can do it online. Just be sure do do at least some practice exams (for instance the Transcender exam preparation recommended by Oracle, try at least the demo) to get familiar with the form of questions.
    I just passed the online SQL exam last weak and the proctored Administration exam today. You definitely need more knowledge for the Admin exam than for the SQL one.
    However, for me the SQL exam was the harder one, because you have to be really focused on the questions, read every requirement carefully, examine an awful lot of exhibits, and do not overlook a tiny difference in the answers, like a missing quote here or a duplicate set clause there ... I felt really tired and I needed every second of the two hours limit.
    On the other hand, I was very relaxed at the today's administration exam. I understood the questions clearly, had a plenty of time to mark the answers and I was quite confident with the answers.
    If you have some practical experience, you should pass the cert exams test with ease. Good luck with your exams.

  • 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.

    Hi
    Can I prepare for 1z0-402 and 1z0-403 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate) with CentOS? Because there are no free security updates for Oracle Linux.

    This is RHEL/OEL 4 based, so centos or OEL or RHEL could be used as appropriate. They important thing to note is the '4' .. which is now a little ancient ... some things a little different in '5' and '6'. The exam could usefully do with a makeover IMHO.

  • 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?'.

    Thankyou.

  • 1z0-147 or 1z0-144

    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:
