Exam Advice

Hi,
I heard that it is possible to take exam for IZ0-51 online no need to go prometric
Centre, is it possible if yes then what is the process for that one. I live in Oman.
Second,llast time I knew that only Oracle manual is available for
For
*1Z0-144 and 1Z0-146*
It is bit tough to study to collect material like that in place of getting one book and
Everything is there,
Last time bigdelboy suggested book for PL/SQL
Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming (Osborne Oracle Press Series) : ISBN-13: 978-0071494458
Is this book covering *1Z0-144 and 1Z0-146 PL/SQL* Topic if not
is there any possibility for books on these exam if not than any one can give
what and how to choose topic from Oracle Online manual.

Thanks for your replay,
my question is that when i will register for second paper then I have to show that exam sheet as a proof or what ?
Prometric keeps a record of all your test passes, fails, scheduled tests and cancellations. You can visit this at candidate history (But I just read this is only for 10 months).
[https://www.register.prometric.com/Login.asp]
Make sure you never register more than once at prometric and to avoid a big mess.
I've never taken an exm online so I dont know if you;ve anything to print out. If probably happens as at a prometric/thomson center most exams give a print-out of sections or areas where you did badly/wrong and need to improve knowledge and I'd expect that to be available from a promteric exam. A testing center should usually(always) give a embossed copy of the exam result.
and second thing I m planning to take this paper online is it ok to go ?
Yes: but make sure you are quiet and cant be disturbed. IF you are disturbed (or your network connection or PC fails - you can reconnect though) you will lose time and may fail exam.
How much it will effect on my credibility later on that I did not cheat to pass this paper ?
When you've passed a few more exams or got a certifcate this really won't be relevant. And I suspect many won't question this anyway. Others might. I suspect those that do will be more sympathetic to those who are further from a promteric center than those who are next door to one.
why I m taking online actually i live in Oman and here pro metric center charging almost double amount then the exam fees,
and I have complained regarding this to pro metric center customer service they said you go for it and send us your receipt,
that they charged you double amount is not very funny.
Why should I pay double amount and wait for pro metric center to help me to get back remaining amount Lets get clarification about what you are saying:
1) My understanding is the cost of exam should be the same online as at a promteric center (assuming same country). If you are comparing online cost in say India to Oman cost at prometric I could imagine Oman Prometric more expensive.
2) Are you saying the prometric center was willing to validate your online result with embossed pape ( i am not sure you are) ? (ie effectively reprint of an exam result)
--- Not sure if they should be doing this, but if it is in their terms of reference then I can imagine it is expensive to discourage it.
>
What is your advice
My advice is to take exam at Prometric center unless you have good reason for not doing so (you may have good reasons).
It also gets one used to the Prometeric center so its not a new experience next time on a tougheer exam (Again you may have tested for other things, eg MySQL at a test center, so this argument may fail).

CLD Boiler Exam Advice

Hi all,
I've just completed the Boiler sample exam and was wondering if i could get some feedback on the code i've written. Note i stuck to the 4hour limit and therefore haven't got as much documentation as I would like.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers,
Rory

overall not bad. Nicely documented but, you have picked up some bad habits.:
avoid placing terminals inside case structures. Terminals belong on the root diagram panel whenever possible to lower the sub-vi call overhead. a quick forum search will explain why.
hiden objects. you have a few. along with some unecessary wire bends. the graders will ding points for these
infinite loop. the GUI has no graceful exit (in fact cannto be stopped without either A) pressing abort or B) deleting the log file (throwing error 7)
why no icons for the custom controls? I know this seems picky but when you are looking at a hierarchy view of a larger project the default ctl icons get confusing. NI should listen to their own advice and improve the ivi drivers too where they commonly overlook ctl icons.
missing a shutdown case in the timer- or you have 1 more enum than needed. pick one and run with it.
How did you do on time?

1z0-051 Certification - Advice Needed

Hello Guys,
I have been reading, learning and practicing Oracle 11g SQL Fundamentals for the last 3 months and finally ready to take up the Exam 1z0-051 by October 15th 2009.
The only book I used: OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)
Version I practiced: Oracle 11g (Practiced almost using the SQL Developer and not the SQL*Plus)
Samples Questions I worked on: I got access to Skillport's 1z0-051 Testprep course (Sponsored by my Company).
I feel confident enough but then I would like to hear from the ones who already passed this exam.
Are there any other material or samples questions I need to work or concentrate on?
How would you rate the exam from a beginner's perspective. (When I say beginner, I mean a person with just 6 month experience in Oracle Database.) Is the exam dead easy or moderate or really difficult?
Please advice. Thanks for your time!

If your performing adequately on the questions with OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) and I believe you've put in lots of practice besides then its probably time to have an actual exam attempt.
Certainly you seem to be on the approach advocated by [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
I personally, and I accept people are different, feel that from once I feel I have an 80% chance of passing then I need to have a shot at the exam simply because if I fail I'd be in a better mindset to attempt a retry.
There are additional tests you can buy from the authorirized providers ( [OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)] ) or you can get additional practice tests from the Sybex book.
I must admit I value practice tests like golddust; the second time I attempt the a practice question I may remember the answer so I always like to leave a practice tests late into my revision cycle and if possible to take the last one (or two) just before I go for the exam.
But IMHO I think you've put a lot of commendable effort into studying and its worth having a go at the exam. Take usual exam advice, my chemistry tutor used to say If all else fails read the question ... Dont be thrown off course if the first few questions throw you and be aware of the time remaining; there is no point running out of time and not attempting an answer to all questions. You mave the option of marking questions for special review. And the ones you can answer correcctly do so; quickly double check your answer, and move on; on dwell on it ... the time will be beter spend elsewhere. Exam technique only comes to most moere mortals with practice.

Please Advice me which Exam to choose for OCA

Which of the below exam shall i choose for certification which is important and good for my career.
1Z0-001
Introduction to Oracle: SQL® and PL/SQL™
or
1Z0-007
Introduction to Oracle9i SQL®
or
1Z0-047
Oracle Database SQL Expert
or
1Z0-051
Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals
Thanks in Advance

Improving SQL skills will often be a good thing for a large range of people.
Checkout [www.oracle.com/education/certification] and particularly 'View all certification' to help you choose.
Also Drill down from the that link for exam topics, training and authorized practice exams.
A better way of choosing the question is what set of skills would do I think I can and would like to master,
Where do I think these skills will help me in a career,
What training will I need to master those skills,
And what certification will should that I have mastered them.
If you have already a little/experience I suggest 1z0-047 for Oracle Database: SQL Certified Expert* perhaps ought to be exam of choice, as this ought to be useful for the widest range of jobs. However I might actually suggest going for 1z0-051 first as a possibly easier target stepping stone. Incidently I have not taken 1z0-047 myself.
1Z0-001
Introduction to Oracle: SQL® and PL/SQL™This exam is about to be retired and is therefore probably bad choice.
1Z0-047
Oracle Database SQL ExpertCannot be taken online, perhaps a good thing. May lead to an OCE certification. May be harder to study for and marginally more expensive
1Z0-007
Introduction to Oracle9i SQL®
1Z0-051
Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals 1Both can be taken online and are adequate component of a number of certifications. 11g is obviously more up to date. Both, I believe, are not subject to a 14 day retake if you fail.
The osbourne/oracle press ISBN-13: 978-0071597869: OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) does a good job of covering 1z0-051 if your starting with some experience of SQL but I suggest you should suppliment that with quality (eg Oracle) training if necessary

MTA Exam 98-361 CS - Please Help ASAP - It would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys:
I am brand spanking new to this development scene and have zero background in any type of IT so, please bare with me..I'm currently active duty military planning on getting out in the fall. I heard about the MSSA program
offered by Microsoft and decided to give it a shot since I meet the requirements (well, most). The reason I say most is my lack of background. Anyway, I just heard about the program about three or four weeks ago and didn't find out I met the requirements till
about two weeks ago..At that time, I was also advised that to get into the program I had to pass this exam (MTA 98-361) , and I had to pass it before the new year to get into the course starting in January.
Because I had such a short amount of time to prepare for the exam, of which I had no knowledge of, my leadership has been very flexible in letting me have time to study. I've taken great advantage of this and have spent countless hours at my desk studying.
Probably around 12-14hrs a day, to be honest. I thought I had been taking this stuff in and really learning a lot getting all of these hours in in the past couple of weeks, until today. I get to the building that is holding my certiport proctored exam, I sign
in, and when I do the proctor asks me, "is this the first time you're taking this exam?" At which point I replied yes and she advised me I had to pick the Visual Basic version of the test because it was my first time..My heart dropped and I got very
nervous. I began the test and it looked completely foreign to me. These last two weeks I had focused all of my energy on learning C# and didn't have even a slight idea of how to apply these methods to VB. I know, most of you guys that have been in this awhile
say this test is easy either way, but it wasn't for me, I'm not at that level. Needless to say, I failed...miserably, and was advised I could retake the test in 24hrs and I could take the correct test..real reassuring...When I say I did bad, it was BAD. Now
I'm beginning to question if I even have a grasp on the simple stuff, the basic understanding of all of this. I enjoyed what I was learning, hence the keeping motivation through those long days.
Is this not for me? I was advised that my results would be sent directly to MS and all I could think was GREAT, and I'm trying to get a job in this industry..is this going to look negatively on my behalf when MS sees that, even if I do somehow still manage
to pass the test that I've been studying for and make it into the program? I'm dedicated and wiling to put what I need to into this because, like I said, it really interests me..I'm just looking for some insight if this is a realistic path for me or not and,
if so, if anyone can enlighten me on how I can better prepare myself for the exam next week (CS version).
Is the MeasureUp practice testing as good of a source as it's made out to be? Or should I be going elsewhere? I've watched the MSDN MTA modules multiple times, read Wiley cover to cover, and looked up things I didn't know or wasn't sure of all over the internet.
I'm just wondering what all of you dev gurus would suggest for someone totally new, to learn all of these fundamentals in this short amount of time. Sorry for the lengthiness of this thread, I'm just a little stressed and frustrated.
Thanks much,
Joey
////I know there's lots of threads about the MTA 98-361, I'm just looking for particular help in regards to ////my current situation, thank you.//

To start with, I think that your proctor made a mistake. If you have been doing all your studying with C#, you should have taken your exam in C#, not in VB. Although the change from C# to VB is trivial for someone who has years of practice with both languages,
in your particular case you should have stuck with the one with which you were most familiar.
As a second piece of advice, you need some practice rather than just stuudy time. The questions in the MTA exams are in general very easy to reply if you have actually done the things that they are talking about (versus just having studied them on paper).
For this exam about "development fundamentals" I would recommend that you write a few simple programs that exercise the various topics covered in the "skills measured" section of the exam description page. For instance, when you see the
topic labelled "For loops, While loops, Do...While loops, and recursion", go ahead and write a programs with several types of loops and verify that you understand how to write them, how they work, and that they produce the results that you expected.
Do the same with recursion. Repeat this for every entry in the list of Skills Measured, and you should be ready to take the exam.

Question on advice on timing of when to submit hands on submission form

In [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] support-faq's the question (accessed as of time of this post)
Q. Do I need to complete all the tests in my certification path within a set period of time or in a specific order?+Has the follwing answer:
Requirements for Oracle Certifications do not need to be completed in a specific order.
It is recommended that a candidate complete the training prior to sitting for an exam, but it is not required.
*The Course Submission Form should be completed after all other requirements have been met.*I cant recall if the FAQ has changed, but IMHO previous best practice was to submit Hands on course form immediately after qualifying hands on course was taken to minimize delay in time obtain success kit. Is the advice or requirement now different?

On a slightly more serious note - are there any plans to simply load Oracle University class rosters into the HOC system? If 'Oracle Certification ID'* is optionally allowed at eAttendance time, that should be a moderately simple integration, and would eliminate the HOC submission requirement for a large % of the candidates.

Problem with Prometric exam center

Hi,
I would like to find out where can I get help if I face problem with Prometric exam.
I had registered with Prometric for exam 70-647 on 16-Sep at 10:00AM.
On 16-Sep, I reach the exam venue and was inform that the exam venue was close.
I had wasted 7 hours on that day (2 hours travel from my home to exam venue, waited at exam venue for 3 hours and take another 2 hours to return home) and didn't manage to sit for exam. I keep calling exam venue phone number on that day and no one is answering
the call.
Upon return home, I submit a complaint to Prometric using the form on their website.
Prometric only reply me with an email 2 days later asking me to call their candidate care number.
I call Prometric candidate care and spend 10 minutes to explain to them my problem as if they never receive my complaint. Prometric told me their system show that the exam venue is not close on that day and I have to call the exam venue to re-schedule the exam.
I then call the exam venue and was inform that I need to call Prometric to re-schedule the exam for me. They say their system does not show that I had register for the exam on 16-Sep. I had explain to exam venue that it was Prometric who ask me to call them
to re-register. They told me they will call Prometric on this issue and get back to me.
After one day without return call from either exam venue or Prometric, I decided to call Prometric again. I then have to spend time to explain to them the problem that I face from beginning (I can't understand why a large organisation like Prometric don't keep
a log of customer feedback/complaint and expect customer keep explaining to them whenever customer call back). Prometric then told me they never receive any update from exam venue that they were close on 16-Sep and expect me to keep calling exam venue to get
them update Prometric that they were close on that day. The guy from Prometric candidate care refuse to take ownership of this problem to call the exam venue to find out whether it was close on exam date.
I then call the exam venue again and was inform that Prometric's number is busy whenever they trying to call them. They told me they can't help me to re-register for exam, only Prometric can help me to re-register for exam.
It seems like none of Prometric Candidate care or exam venue want to take ownership of this problem.
Please advice who can assist me with this issue?

SUB: Asking for Help (Exam has not been conduct at Prometric Center at Below address)
Test Site Code:     IIJ6K
Test Site Address:     Off NH-8
Ajwa Waghodia Crossing
Vadodara, GJ 390019 India
Test Site Phone:     912652454057
Myself Snehalkumar, 30 Jan 2014, I scheduled to have an exam on 23 March April2014. I went 1 Hour Before at Site Location Which Is above.
At Site location, No one is there except security. I called on above site location number no one picked up the phone. I got the number from security 919879261687 that person (Sajesh Thomas) was managed/arranged at there. I talked with him and he replied me
that there is no more Prometric center here its only for L&T employees.
He gave me another number 09313978791 and said that talked to him, he is regional head of Promatric I think his name is Utkarsh Pande.
I cleared state him what i can do now? I came faraway (90kms) from here for attending an exam. He asked me what exam it is? I said 74-409. He said that its free exam so reschedule it. What about my time and petrol to come from 90 km?
I was very frustrated to listen this kind of answer. I am very disappointed and I said that i will complaint to Microsoft and Promatric center. He answered that go for the complaint. Just because he is regional Manger so he is careless to manage/arrange
and give me pathetic answer.
And give me another number and that was call center number 01244517160. He said that called tomorrow at call center. This is just one center of Promatric center that comes under him . How about other center? Same thing happen at other center which comes under
him.
And L&T person (At site location) said that talked to regional head of Promatric Center. If regional head give me this kind of answer, Where should i go. I was waiting for long time and think what to do next? At some stage i was very depress.
I wasted time and money and went back to home 90kms without appearing an exam just because some irresponsible person forgot to arranged an Exam.
If there is no more Promatric center at this site than Why they did not contact to let me know that there is no longer Promatric center? even day before, if they send me a mail or make a call its ok for me. but that did not happen.
Why on Promatric schedule list to see this site location if no more Promatric center. If its for L&T employees only than please specified that for only L&T employees or remove it from the schedule list so no one will have problem like i had.
I logged into Promatric Center website. I click on rescheduling an exam but that filed was empty so no way to reschedule it.
Now you tell me what should i do after facing this problem?

Need Exam 1z1-102 dump

Hi All,
i want to prepare for the Oracle Certified Associate: Oracle WebLogic Server 11g certification exam. kindly advices me where i can get dump/particles question for this.
also advice me which is best book for the Weblogic System Administrator.
Thanks in Advance
Sreenivas

In India , students often refer Training Materials and even Books as "dumps" . Well IMHO it is about time it changed.
Totally unprofessional and the incorrect mindset for the student that has to be unlearned.
And makes them total fodder for the braindump sellers and help legitimize braindumps.
Perhaps it is due for peer pressure to keep using the term dumps.
Makes the whole of India look bad IMHO.
They just don't mean it.When Caught. To be caught is dishonourable. ( I am being unfair to a large part of India in these statement .... however unfortunately there is a sizeable group of students, ex-students and tutors to which it is not unfair).
.... And far too many (and a large proportion of those from India I suspect ) have used the term DUMP as a cover for BRAINDUMP in this forum.
.... And pretend they are clever when they have got away with it.
.... And pain the administrators and moderators by censoring and quarentining such posts!
Which is why I personally take no lieniency with the term whatsover in it this context.
Given the earlier post my reading is hat the certification forum moderators' viewpoint it is the same. Perhaps your post will wind her up (make her a little vexed).
Honestly ....I gets worried when someone says honestly or to tell the truth
.....Its not the the reference to ISBN-13: 978-0071774253 is bad .... in fact my understanding is it is quite a good book (through a quick glance through and a comment by an experienced Weblogic Admin after he took a dip).
If original poster had confirmed they did not wish to use braindumps, which they did not, They would have received that reference from me (and possibly one other recent book too, though that is IMHO a poorer book).
Overall IMHO not tolerating the use of term dump is this forum is having a beneficial effect. And IMHO at least some feedback is getting back it is not considered acceptable.

Study source for 1Z0-051 exam Oracle11g SQL Fundamentals certification

Greetings,
What are some good sources for this exam that are legit. I have the OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam guide, read the whole section regarding SQL and have practiced the test questions until I scored 100% multiple times. Yet (with all humility), I failed the exam. I don't want to cheat and will keep trying until I pass it the right way! I'm going to keep studying the areas I need to really master., but I noticed that the real Exam was nothing like the practice exam. For me, the real exam was a lot trickier and there were a few questions that the book didn't cover. The guy working at the test center recommended testking but upon further research, some sites consider using testking as cheating. I have not purchased any new study guides and would like feedback to some legit study guides. Is the transcender study guide legit and worth it? Please pardon me if this question has been asked a dozen times. I will scour the forums for more info regarding this but also wanted some direct feedback.
Thank you,
A mon

Rene,
Thanks for the link and the advice. Very helpful! And yes, it got to the point where I knew some of the answers before I finished reading the questions.
Thanks,
A monI was going to say possibly the cheapest way is buy the sybex Book : ISBN-13: 9780470395127 which is like the Watson Book ... but it isn't that cheap andalso coves 1z0-052 which you don't need.
( Selftest Sofware is reputed to be good, Transcender a little better (they are both Kaplan Brans and overlap common material). Ucertify may be cheapter but quality may be less. And make sure you get the right site and not a phishing link pretending to be them.
.... wsa it you who i said to try the exam and see where you were really at ? .. if so sorry and better luck next time. Perhaps though it is an opportunity to revise study technique.
See: http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/question_of_the_day_how_to_pre
.... Doing your own flash cards and notes can be useful.
I always regard practice questions as precious and leave it as late as possible in study before doing questions.
(If you must peek ahead choose a chapter just before half way through the book and do end of chapter questions for that only).
But I won't even do end of chapter practice questions until I think I know the whole exam topics and have notes on all the material.
Only when I think I know it all will I do even end of chapter questions.
And I wont do them if I have read up on the topics during the day. I will wait until the next day.
And after doing end of chapter results I re-read the chapter and topics and practice. But I wont redo those questions for a few days
And only when I get good enough practice score from the chapter do I take a full practice test.
Basic principle is concentrate on learning and use the precious study ids to fill the gaps. It's a little slower getting there that way but these is more chance of a pass.

How to pass 1Z0-051 exam

I prepared to this exam well by reading and implementing the book topics of "OCA Oracle Database 11g:SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)" + plus articles reads from Oracle website itself; but unfortunately i failed twice, the reason isn't that i did not digest the SQL material or found hard topics to understand, but it is more about the timing of the exam which it limit my thinking process and make me confuse to select the right answer; as you have 70 questions to read, understand, deduce and then answer, as in average time for each question is one minutes and twenty seconds.
I admitted that sometimes i have problem in calculation, but i believe if time is aloud more to me i would easily figure out the question.
I need some advice and instruction here if that possible.
Thanks in advance

Edited by: user12108967 on Feb 15, 2010 2:02 PMI guess first check this: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/10/question_of_the_day_how_to_pre.html]
and this [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=179]
You don't mention if you took this test online .... for various reason my personal opinion is people may be under more time pressure taking it online. I have read somewhere also that if you retake an exam within 5 days you are statisitically almost highly likely to fail it again.
The time element is obviously one part of these exams. 1z0-051 can be done within the time with a little to spare.
Not all questions will take the same amount of time.
In a proctored exam you have the following aids available to you:-
- A timer indicating time left
- The ablility to mark a question for review later.
- The ability to leave a question blank.
- The ability to make notes on wipe board.
Decide a strategy of how you are going to approach questions. For instance i may choose to:
- If I know the answer to a question straight away, mark it, double check then move to next question.
- If I am unsure mark the question, make best possilble answer, note on my wiprepad any certaily wrong answers.
- If I think I am going to take too long on a question (more than 2 mins) make notes of where I'm at, mrk it for review and move on.
Basically you should be able to get through some questions fairly quickly. Others may take longer.
You may also be resented with exhibits and things ..... its very easy to take too much time looking at all the information and getting overwhelmed.
Read the question, elminate wrong answers and move on as quickly as possilbe.
The should already have been practice exams on the CDROM with the book you have bought. These are less useful the more you use them, as you remember the answers.
Additional practice tests can be purchased from [http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sts.html] (Either buy transcender or SelftestSoftware, not both).
You may be able to speed up your calculations with time, however if you are having trouble with them permanently then perhaps this is not the career for you, as you may have trouble if you get a job also.
However you may find with practice it all comes into place and you speed up.

What is another schema name in oracle 1z0-051 exam ?

hi all
i want to prepare oracle 1z0-051 , i study SQL tutorial (HR schema) , and i have seen some questions. but some of tables is like (sales , customers ,promotion ...ets)
What are the schemas in this exam ? by the way all samples schema install in my database
and thx advace

In the exam you will get the snippet of the code that includes table structure and may be data in some tables in some questions. But every time they are different. so my advice is that you need to understand how to read a table definition and interpret. dont just mug up the things. Go to oracle documentation and read and try get the concept right.
I followed the book 'Oracle 11g- SQL Fundamental Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)' it nearly covered all the topics and have good examples at the end of the chapter. happy studying.
You cane refer to 'http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/sql/11g-schemamanagement-089869.html'
and 'Managing Schema Objects'

Error occurred during certification exam

Hello,
can please someone give me an advice about my problem.
At a Pearson Vue test center, I've experienced an error during my certification exam as a result of connectivity problem at the test center.
After that I was not able to continue my exam, administrator at the test center didn't know how to handle that.
They tried to restart the computer, to continue test on another computer but nothing helped.
Test center reported an incident report to Pearson Vue, promising that someone from Vue will contact me within next 48 hours, till now passed 40 hours but no one has contacted me yet. They didn't want to forward me the email they wrote to Vue saying that it is a confidential e-mail.
Because of that I cannot do anything on my own because I don't have access to the reported problem mail, and I cannot reference to it directly to Vue.
A person at a test center called me yesterday informing me that it is confirmed that a technical error has occurred during my exam but they didn't offer any solution, I just have to wait for Vue to contact me.
I have another problem because my voucher expires for a few days, and within these days, because of my prescheduled business commitments and obligations I'm not able to write another test. I am able to do it only after certification expire day.
At the test center they say that they are not responsible for the error, and that I'll be able to retake another test with the expired voucher if and only if Vue will allow that. As they say, all I can do now is wait for a miracle to happen. :(
Do you think test center is responsible for the error? And do I have any rights to ask for a new voucher if Vue in some case will not allow me to retake the test again with the same voucher.
I'm really desperate, I cannot believe that a test center is not responsible for the error that happened in their institution.
Is this error Pearson Vue's responsibility or Test center's responsibility?
I've read on the forums that I should ask for refund/exam retake vouchers.. but should I as that directly Vue or Testing center where the error has occured?
Please give me an advice on how can I handle and what can I do to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Incident number: 204738074.
I'm 100% percent sure I didn't physically stop the test. I am very sure of that:
But people reading this (or independingly) may think when taking a test.
- This test is going badly for me. The questions are hard. I am not doing well.
- I know ... I will kick the power cable out of the machine ... remove the ball from the mouse (schoolboy trick) ... etc. etc.
...... then they will give me my money back and i can take the test later.
Actually this does not work as the Test Center's server has survived ... the problem is when that goes up in smoke.
At the test center they say it was a technical problem, they have sent the logs of the test to Vue; Vue gave them the answer confirming it was a technical problem.You probably have more of a problem if Vue cancel your test and refund than if they rearrange it.
So try to think when the next convenient time is it for you to take the test (even should it have to be outside the voucher time).
Also consider if there is another test center within reasonable distance to yourself that may be able to give you your test earlier.
There has been sufficent issue / delay on this to IMHO also raise an Oracle Certification SR request.

Be sure to mention the Pearson VUE incident number in the full description and choose OCP Exam Issue Type : "Exam/Test Center Problems"
Note the SR number. Brandye may be interested, the certification team interested to ensure how Pearson VUE handle exam problems from a candidate viewpoint so service improvements/procedure advice changes can be made if necessary, so I would post the SR number back here (as well as repeating the incident number).
... Should Pearson VUE resolve your problem be sure to update the SR (I think this means raising a new one but referencing the old SR number saying your problem has been resolved).
We are now into the Easter Public Holiday period in many countries and support wil probably therefore be very limited.

Need advice regarding an interview

Hi,
Since everytime I had a confusion, it was resolved by this forum only, so now again I need ur support and advice.
Actually, I'm a struggler seeking desperately for job of a junior/asst. DBA. I've done MCA(Master in Computer Application) and OCA (Oracle Certified Associate) DBA.
Now in the next month I've to take the last exam (Performance Tuning) to be an OCP. Since I m a fresher in this field, I m not getting any job opportunity.
I'd already discussed my problem on this forum and had got lots of precious advices which recharged and motivated me a lot.
Now today I got an interview call from HCL company for the post of an 'asst.programmer' which is not the field I was looking for. But since I m getting an opportunity from a big company I m not able to resist it. Plz advice me of what should I do in such situation.
Further,I m not in practice of the programming languages for a long time so I m not sure whether I'll get through the Interview or not. Plz suggest.The interview is tommorow.

If you've got some knowledge of programming then at least it's a foot in the door and will allow you to gain experience.
Likewise, going for the interview will give you experience of the interviews, even if you don't get the job.
A good programmer has a good understanding of the way a database works, so the DBA skills you've already learnt will help you and, if you get the job, the programming will give you a good idea of how people need to use the database, so that too will support your DBA skills and you can eventually work up to the job opportunity you want.
We all had to start somewhere. ;)

Certification course and exam in different locations

Hi,
I am currently in USA and gave oracle apps supply chain expert consultant -purchasing exams recently. However, I am yet to complete the online course. I will be leaving to India in few weeks. Can I take up the online course in India and submit the course completion form? Will there be any issue in obtaining the certificate if I do so.
Please advice.

Please advice.AFAIK the requirement is your body needs to be resident in the country where you take the online course.
And whereyou you take an authorised course if will count.
The issue is if your body was physically in the USA and took and online course in India, Oracle University would take a dim view on this ... possibly due to export/tax reasons but mainly due to loss of revenue ... and could nullify the pass for certifcation puroses and treat one as a no-show .... leading to no satisfaction of certification requirement and no show. I expect anyone who simply tries this, and I suspect some have, will have found themselves barred from the course.
All of this response is my best (but possibly incorrect) understanding only, I am not authorative and I do not work for Oracle.
If you absolutely need an authorative answer raise a support call, though Brandye will usually answer, but she may be busy or enjoying a 3 week retreat on Innishmurray or the South Pole for all I know.
