Any clarifications pealse?IMHO The issue isn't so much whether it's oracle 10gR2 or 11gR2, the issue is that the exam is RHEL 4 with a some emphasis on 32-bit and workarrounds required because of that.
I think real world is now effectively linux 64 bit for serious stuff (unless possibly using VM's) ... so the 32 bit workarrounds are close to going to a museum ... having said that there will be many such 32 bit installations working still.
Some of the topics can be hard to locate information on.
If you can wait hopefully this book can soon be published ..... [http://www.rampant-books.com/book_0902_managing_oracle_on_linux_OCE_oracle_certified_expert.htm] ...
The author has posted on these forums and has said the manuscript is with the publsher.
Overall not an easy call ....

I Just Did the Exam 1Z0-047 - What's Next?

I just passed my first (Internationally Recognized) Oracle exam 1Z0-047. Hmmm, i got %83. I think its good since its my first exam, i felt i could make it better up to %90+. The paper shows 9 bullet points of topics that i may show review. The topics they mentioned i know it really well. Shall i take the exam again? I don't think its a big deal probably %83 is good. Anyway, the exam center gave me a printed paper of my total score. They said Oracle will send another Certification to my address. Which Certification is official? The one i have been given by the exam center is a printed cert (black and point). Which one should i show to the employers?
I'm happy as well as sad because i knew the mistakes i made are silly (i wish to rid of the bullet points argghhhh) + i did the exam after having at least 3 months college hands on experience.

NO DO NOT TRY TO TAKE ANY PASSED EXAM AGAIN - its against certification candidate agreements : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=138]
Although the suggested topics are a guide dont dwell on them too much; if you feel you know them ell enough thats fine; move on. Because of the effects of small samples sizes on individual topics these can easily become skewed.

Keep both. 1z0-047 is an exam with fulfills a certification requirement so you get a success pack including a certificate; and thats even more important. Thats the best one to show to your employer; but it may be 8 / 10 weeks beforeyou received it. (NB: Oracle does not send a copy of your exam report - they will only send certificates - however there might be changes when they move to Prometric).
I'm happy as well as sad because i knew the mistakes i made are silly (i wish to rid of the bullet points argghhhh) + i did the exam after having at least 3 months college hands on experience.Then your mistakes will help you for the future.

Any future for the Itunes Store music and movies available in Romania?

Hi! Can anyone tell me when it will be possible to buy in Romania music, movies, books and all other stuff from the store? Right now we can only buy apps and I think that's pretty much it. I think it will be the right thing to do from Apple since we are all trying to fight piracy.

Music, movies and other content in the iTunes Store will come to other countries when Apple can work out all the multitude of licensing, copyright and royalty issues with all the various entities that hold the distribution rights in your country, along with any legal and infrastructure issues that might arise. When or indeed if that will happen, no one outside of Apple can say, if even they know, and Apple won't speak to the subject until they're ready to officially announce.
Sorry, but we'll all just have to wait and see what happens.

1Z0-046 Study guide - recommendations?

I am trying to find good and reliable sources for study guides and practice Q & A for exam 1Z0-046 - "Oracle Database 10g: Managing Oracle on Linux Certified Expert".
Normally I use self-test software for this purpose but unfortunately they only seem to provide the more mainstream certifications and upgrades.
Do you guys have any recommendations on alternative suppliers of study guides etc ? A quick search on the internet reveals for example [removed by moderator - know braindump site] which at first glance seems alright.
Another one is [removed by moderator - known braindump site] which also seems like a good choice.
Any recommendations and/or previous experience would be appreciated.

I have to advise you to check www.certguard.com before you go to any website for certification prep, to check whether a site is legitimate or not.
Both of the websites you mentioned, testking and cert-insider, come up as braindump sites.
The implications are that, by using materials from there, you violate the agreement you make with Oracle when you take the test, and can have your certifications revoked.
I looked on Amazon, and saw that there's a book called Oracle Database 10g Linux Administration. That was the only resource I could find for the test, so probably you will want to delve into Oracle's online documentation to prepare.

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.
Thanks

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!

2) is there any good book or any website for preparation?
3) I am in DC area, anyone is interested to prepare together?
I am looking for hearing some info, thanks.

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 upgrade exam 1z0-060

Hi all,
currently 12c ocp upgrade exam (1z0-060) is validated against Oracle Database 12.1.0.1.0.

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

Exam 1Z0-042

Hi,
I've just started studying for the first exam on Oracle 10g. I was just wondering, after taking some Microsoft and CompTIA certification exams, if anybody had any clues as to what to expect not having taken any Oracle exams before.
I'm not asking for answers or sample questions, but just an overall feeling of the exam (e.g. you need to know all switches for expdp ;)).
Thank you,
Greg
P.S: Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I did not find any certification forums.

The exams thankfully don't try to see if you remembered anything by heart, but are designed to make sure you understand, at least at a high level, many Oracle concepts. It might be worthwhile remembering the most important parameters/switches of commands, but it's much more important to understand when to use some feature, the features major limitations, and the high-level steps on how to use a feature. Doing the examples provided in manuals always helped me a lot, as I tend to remember more after I do something myself. By the way, I'm Oracle 8i and 9i OCP (and currently thinking about doing 10G).

OCP : Any hard-copy-proof of passing single exams(1Z0-001) & not entire OCP

I am a Java/J2EE developer and want to add
general RDBMS & SQL skills to my skill-set.
So want to appear for the test
1Z0-001 Intro to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL
Due to some career reasons
I am planning to take only 1Z0-001 test for the present.
I understand,I would be getting the certification as
"Oracle PL/SQL and Oracle Forms Developer"
only after I complete the other exams in the series.
But I plan to give the rest of the tests later based
on time and financial conditons.
In the meanwhile, if I pass the
1Z0-001 exam, I would like to show it as a part
of my skill-set in my future career progression including future
job interviews.
Can someone please tell me, if I pass the
1Z0-001 exam, WHETHER I WOULD BE GETTING ANY
HARD-COPY / (Printable-Soft-Copy) PROOF OF HAVING
CLEARED the 1Z0-001 exam which I can use for my future
career progression.
Thanks in advance....

Yes you will get a printout from any test centre, will a seal of its autheticity. I had done my exams at a Prometric Testing Centre, and got the same.Did the tests sometime back in 2002 for OCP's.

Is UCertify any good for exam 1Z0-007?

Hi, I am thiking about buying UCertify practise questions for exam 1Z0-007, i am wondering if anyone has used it in the past and how good is their product?
I can't afford Transcender prep material, the other option is SelfTest but they provide money back guarentee in 2nd shot. Ucertify offers more practise questions then SelfTest but really don't know how good they are?
Does SelfTest offer same practise questions which comes in Oracle press book CD?
I have already studied the sybex and Oracle press book but there are few topics which you really can't memorized them like functions , sybex book has covered alot of functions as compared to Oracle press book and i know the half of them becuase i have used them in my job. So if i buy SelfTest practise questions then do i need to practise only those functions which have been covered in practise exams? Or other function topics can be asked in real exam?
Thanks

ThanksInteresting question.
Its always good to refer back to [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
Usually I find myself refering people back to that because they are going for unauthorised learning material, but I'll refer you to that as compliment for staying on the right route, and also because it has a couple of tips that might help.
Obviously Transcender/Selftest are the authorised practice test providers, (though they are now both owned by the same company Kaplan IT) and it is not recommended to buy both Transcender and Selftest for the same exam as material may be similar. Generally they market Transcender is better but more expensive (certainly for more recent exams).
[http://www.certguard.com] shows the offical Ucertify website as a SAFE website so you would be IMHO showing sufficient due dillegence in purchasing from this Vendor. Be aware however that unscrupulous third parties may be trying to either pretend to be Ucertify when they are not by setting up similar sounding websites and others may be selling Ucertify material in beach of conditions. Anyway a quick prowse round for me in the UK shows:
A uCertify 1z0-007 is currently on special offer at just under 1/2 the price of the oracle exam
A Selftest Software Practice Test 30 day online access is about just over 1/2 the price of the oracle exam
A Selftest unlimied time software download is a about 80% of the cost of the oracle exam.
At a guess without looking Transcender will probably be 20-30% more expensive than Selftestsoftware.
Bear in mind I have not seen tests from any of these Vendors myself. From my memory, which is imperfect, I recall seeing comments that uCertify was typically of a lower quality than say transcender for some tests. However even if this was true it may have changed.
To some extent for you wishing to minimze expenditure the question is is forking out extra money on practice tests worth it when you may pass the exam anyway?
To some exent there should be enought practice tests between the Orace and Sybex Books and associated CDROM's to cover the exam well enough anyways (though bear in mind this is an older exam was have had an update to topics since exam was printed .... and arguably quality has usually improved somewhat with books for later exams like 1z0-051). You may however have exhausted all he test/practice questions too early, and a test question/exam is mos valuable the first time you see it, and it loses value the second time you see it as you may remember the answer. I try to take practice tests only after I think I have practiced and learnt all the material fully (and this applies even to the end of chapter practices).
My suggestion would be:
Dont answer any practice tests for a week (or two).
Make flashcards of the thing you need to memorize.
Practice and revise through the books you hve (but dont look at questions).
To not revise immediately before taking practice tests.
Then go through the questions at the end of the chapters.
However well you did re-revise the chapter afterwards, make ore flashcards if necessary.
If you got less than say 85% on any chapter redo that 2/3 days later.
Then take CDROM practice tests. If your getting less than 85% then dont go back to the next test but redo difficult areas.
If your getting 80 - 85% on the last CDROM test then take the exam.
(or if you really feel you need to buy some prctice tests).
Lookout in the FAQs for advice by Hans also.

1z0-051 Dealing with the exam

Hi
I'm preparing 4 1z0-051 exam and i want to master dealing with multi choice questions and lab question and all the detail about the exam technics not the books or references
thank you

Amr Halima wrote:
thnk you for response I've read the resources you support me with, and still have some questions:
1) How can i review the unmarked questions if i discover that my answer is wrong ??
Its actually a while since i took an oracle cert exam, and the last one i took the 'skin' had changed so it was a little different to the classic style. But the basics are the same.
I dont have a exam in front of me as i write this.
There are buttons to go through to NEXT and PREVIOUS questions. If you are at the end of the exam and wish to go to the beginning the thats a lot of previous buttons. But you an goto the review page at the end and jump to the question you require.
You have the option of tagging any as marked for review. The idea is if you have time at the end you can focus your review the questions you have tagged
The final page (and there may well be a button to go this on every page, but dont quote me) while have the means to select
whether you wish to review all questions: all 'unmarked' questions, or 'all tagged for review' questions. The way this worked varied
on the last exam i took; the previous classic style use to show all questions with a checked and a colour to show if the question
had been answered and had been tagged for review. The last exam i took i think the final page worked with buttons used to filter
the questions it dsipayed to just to from between:
- All questions
- Questions not fully answered.
- Questions not tagged for review.
A question is not fully answered if the candidate has not given a sufficient number of answers to which satisfies the question criteria.
To demonstrate this:
- Let us consider the question:
Q.34 Choose the following cities where they are not the capital city of the associated country:
A: Dublin is the capital city of the Republic of Ireland
B: Beijing is the capital city of India
C: Moscow is the capital city of Russia
D: Washington is the capital of England
Select the best two answers:Notes:
(1) Now B and D are obviously the correct answers, and A and C incorrect.
(2) Be aware that maybe 3% of candidates as this point would have failed to read the question correctly and will mark A and C as correct, +(Quote(my old Chemistry teacher): if all else fails read the question)+.
(3) If the candidate only checked one answer, say 'C' then this question would appear on the list of unmarked questions for review and the candidate would not receive marks for the question.
(4) The the question had said select one or more correct answers and the candidate had checked C only, then the question would NOT appear on the list of unmarked questions. In general high exams such as OCP will contain more questions of the form select one or more possible answers.
You may find it is possible to grey incorrect answers by right clicking them. This can be useful to focus on the correct answers. You can actually do the same thing by writing it on the marker board you are given.
Let us say I come to the question above. Let us say I know for sure 'C' that Russia is the capital of Moscow is true so i eliminate that (Either right to grey it out or write Q34: C-X on my marker board. I know London is the Capital of England so therefore +D: Washington is the capital of england so i check 'D' as I know that is correct. But let us say i am not sure about A B, which is true and which is false.
- I mark this question for review as I am not sure about it and perhaps it is worth coming back to later +(If I have time)+. I might make a mark Q34 capitals on by marker board so i know which one to come back to. Even if i dont know the last answer i need to mark i will have wanted to have guessed it by the time i finished the exam. I would certainly want to have made a guess by the end of the exam, so if i am running short of time i would guess as I might not have time to return, if i am well up on time i might leave it unmarked for now.
- One danger of greying out incorrect answers is one may forget to check the correct answers. I remember finishing an exam and discovering on the review screen i had not answered a question. I had greyed out the wrong answers but forgotten to check the right answers! i would have gotten no marked, as it is checked answers that count. Please be aware greying out of answers are only a help to the candidate and may not be present on all exams
- Sometimes drag and drop answers may also be present. There may also be exhibits to view; and you should note how these may be tiled onto the screen. Beware of spending too much time looking at these.
2) for multi choice questions if i have a - choose all that apply- question and i've chose just one answer and it was right .Do I take a part of the mark of the question??
and if i chose all the right answers and one wrong .Do i loose all the mark of the question??In all cases if you fail to select all correct answers you will recieve no marks for the question
>
what's the grading policy?? i didn't find a topic about this
With Oracle Certification exams one either passes or fails. The pass percentage appears on your exam score report. It does not appear on your certification. The pass mark is chosen after reviewing the exam at the end of beta testing stage, and may be adjusted in production if a revision is demeed necessary.

11g book for the New feature exam 1z0-050

Hi All
Are you using the following book from Oracle press to prepare the 11g New feature exam 1z0-050. Reviewers are only giving 2 stars out of 5.
(http://www.amazon.com/OCP-Oracle-Database-11g-Administrators/dp/0071496823/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217612421&sr=1-3 )
I agree to the reviewers that the books is containing a lot of errors, but I still think it is a good book in order to prepare the exam.
Hopefully we will get a error list publish on the oracle press web site.
Please share your experience in that thread.
thanks

Hmm understood.I will have to map the Sources Topics to the Exams Topics than just having a "served food", like an ordinary exam, its fair enough.
Its just the concepts concerned are many and many are complex, so specifially here I would require a specially fit OPC book like for SQL Expert.
Luckily I'd oredered yours at least.
See SQL Experts, I found the topics quite affordable and I advance quick about 1-2 chapters + Sumed Revision per day, and without questions or errors.
I guess because of
1.the OPC Book
2. since my curent internship is on SQL Analysis
3. my Thesis was creating an essential DBMS in C++ with embeded SQL Parser and PhP ODBC driver from Scratch
So I may try start having a look at SQL Tunning also, thus I dont think I could really achieve in paralel preparing for both and with the Internship also.
Thank you very much once again.
