1Z0-850 Exam

I am looking to take the 1Z0-850 exam this year. Anyone have any suggestions on books that could help me prepare for this? I know this used to be called SCJA and there are many books on the Sun exam. Not sure how helpful they are since the exam changed when Sun was bought out.

This one is very good and i recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Associate-Study-CX-310-019-Edition/dp/1598729020
Chapter by chapter study guide, questions, and all you need to pass the exam
Good luck!

1Z0-850 exam still valid?

I'm studying for exams 1Z0-803 & 1Z0-804, but is still valid to 1z0-850 certification?

1z0-850 is an exam not a certification. ( you could say you meant the certification associated with 1z0-850 ... ( Java 5 SE OCA ) ).
Without going into more complexity than I have time for ... probably best to continue with your Java 7 SE OCA/OCP.
If you follow through the certification and exam links at at http://certification.oracle.com who should be able to see more .... but be aware the Java 7 SE OCA/OCP is more to oracle standard than the Java 5/6 SE ( I think I read you could go direct to OCP on those in one exam ..... but I'd have to double check and I dont have time).

Study Guide book for Java Certified Associate SE 5/6 Exam 1Z0-850

Hello All!
I'm a student and Just finished my java course. I planning to take the Java Certified Associate SE 5/6 Exam 1Z0-850 ASAP. My questions:
1) Is there a study guide available for this (thought I could fine OCA SE7 which will be released only on Aug 2012. Can't wait that long)? is
2) I read that there's no pre-req for this exam or is there?
I really need a study guide for this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I guess you didn't consulted Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Associate-Study-CX-310-019-Certification/dp/0071490035/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1326348528&sr=1-3

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).

1Z0-051 exam tips

Hi everybody
My name is Jon Toshmatov and I am preparing for 1Z0-051 exam and I would like to ask you a few questions.
First, a little my background, I work for IBM in mainframe storage team and prior to IBM I have a few years of DBA experience.
Within 3 months I want to pass the 1Z0-051 exam and next 3 months 1Z0-052 exam and obtain OCA certification within total 6 months. Is this doable?
I am using this book "OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) " and Oracle manuals from Oracle website. Any other textbooks you would recommend?
Please share some tips and hints with me so I can build my preparation strategy.

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

There is no such specific Oracle Documentation given in Oracle, rather you will have to refer a couple of related Oracle Documentations.
Here are the Oracle SQL Documentations.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/nav/docindex.htm?remark=homepage#index-SQL
If you need specific document on this exam, you will have to undergo the related training course, then you will be given Oracle Student Guides/ILT Materials.

How to prepare for 1z0-050 exam

Can u help me guiding how to prepare for 1z0-050 exam. It will be every much useful to me.
Thank
Arunkumar Gupta

There's a new guide available for this test not mentioned in the supplied thread:
"Study Guide for 1Z0-050: Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators: Oracle Certification Prep"
It's available at Amazon.com. Be aware that it is very condensed -- it's a study guide rather than a textbook. It should not be the sole source of your preparation for this test. On the plus side, I don't believe it to have near the number of errors that exist in the Oracle Press book for this test. You can also borrow it for free if you have a Kindle and are an Amazon Prime member.

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:

What is the status of 1z0-050 exam??

Can anyone explain, whats the status of 1z0-050 exam in this month i.e. Jun 2010. As Oracle has validated O11gR2 for the exam, is the exam has entirely been changed vs. O11gR1.
Moreover, It is very confusing that Transcenders link, available on the Oracle Certification side is providing test exams for O11gR1 while the exam has been valided for O11gR2.?

Please check the answer of certification forum moderator in this thread, that might help you

May i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) exam or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051)

Hi all,
Please suggest me, may i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) Test or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051) Test with
oracle Administration 1(1Z0-042) Test.
Which will be the best option.
Thanks & Regards

You may use either exam along with the Oracle Administration 1 (1Z0-042) exam if your goal is to get a 10g DBA OCA credential.
The SQL Expert exam is quite a bit more challenging than the SQL Fundamentals exam. On the other hand, the SQL Expert exam gives you a separate SQL Certified Expert credential. If you can pass it, you should take the SQL Expert exam.
