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

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.

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

I seem to recall at some point that exam vouchers were not transferable .... this may certainly apply to some voucher types ( I guess particularly WDP ones between individuals). But I dont have a reference URL for where I think I saw this.
It is just possible that you previously looked at the exam pricee in a low cost country ... and are now viewing it in a high cost country. Or the change may be due to volatile exchange rates.

Need help on 1z0-051 exam

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to take 1z0-051 exam as a first step towards getting OCA certification.But i can't go to a prometric test center on weekdays because i can't get a leave.
So i'm planning to take this exam online from my office only.So i need to know the payment methods for this exam.Can i use my debit card for the payment or do i need credit card only or is there any other method of payment.
Please help me on this.
Thanx.

Someone will give you exact advice on this .... but I would simply go through the process until I was asked for payment and then cancel out! Try it and find out approach!
This would also ensure all your site registrations etc are in place.
I think if your taking online then get to a place where you cant be disturbed and at a time your internet connection is unlikely to go down .. you can reconnect but you will lose time. And allow a little bit more than than for the exam.
Good luck.
I suppose You could also checkout vouchers at [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=156&p_org_id=28&lang=US] ... make certain you have your correct country selected and they come up in your currency. forum moderator may give advice later ... he' likely to checkout in us working hours.

Passed 1Z0-051 -- is the score final?

Hi All,
I'm pursuing 'Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate' certification. Just finished ONLINE '1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I'. After exam, I get a summary containing e.g. 'Passing Score 60%' and my actual score, which is 'Pass (67.3%)'.
According to what one can see on the official Oracle website describing 'Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I', 'Passing score subject to change'. How it relates to me? If I got an information after the exam confirming that I passed, could I believe that I really passed, or rather shoud wait for some kind of additional confirmation, as 'Passing score subject to change'?
Just a little confusion.

My understanding is:
Your score is final, you have taken an exam where the pass mark for the questions given to you was 60% and you have exceeded that.
Congratulations and well done!
So I believe your pass is forever (unless one were found to have cheated or have violated a non discloure agreement, in which case one could have the pass voided for that)
Oracle reserves the right at a future time to change the pass mark ar a future time if it is more appropriate, probably due to questions in the exam question pool being harder or easier.
I expect this provision on the website is to avoid someone complaining that they looked on the website before the exam and seen a passmark as 60%,
yet when they came to take it they found they had a exam with a passmark of 62% and they might feel they had a grounds for complaint.
The publishing of a guide pass mark on the oracle website is generally useful when comparing with the exam topics in determining whether to study for or preparedness to take an exam,
but it should be only one indicator; my personal opinion is to aim to study to be able to have a shot at all questions. From memory 1z0-147 Program with PL/SQL has a pass mark of 77% or so,
1z0-402 Enterprise Linux Fundamental of about 57%. To get the grade in the former the examiner is probably trying to ensure accurate understanding of specified exam topics, in the latter
the object might be not to worry so much if the examinee did not understand some of broader width of that exam topics as well. In addition beta testing would have determined a lot of people
were finding it hard to achieve on 1z0-402.

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'

Contents of 1z0-051 exam in all-in-one book?

Hello everyone,
I am new at this community and I am thinking off doing de OCA exam. For this reason I have recently bought the "oca/ocp oracle database 11g all-in-one exam guide" but I don't know which part refers to de SQL Fundamentals (1z0-051). It is possble to know what chapters refers to each exam 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 ? Maybe it is a foolish question but I have been looking for the answer unsuccessfully for hours.
Thank you very much in advance,

It is really important to find the authorative source for the exam topics:
Goto:
http://certification.oracle.com
.... and look up those exams and their associated topics there. Exam topics can sometimes change after books are published, so it is important to double check on Oracle's Website.
I've not looked at that combined guide myself, but the first part will realate to the SQL topics of 1z0-051. The switch to the database archecture of part 2 should be obvious. The chapters tend to align well with the topics on the exam website.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 20-Dec-2012 06:42 re: but the first part will realate to the SQL topics of 1z0-051 .... okay I can see from Matthews answer below it doesn't ... well teaches me not to guess!

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.

1Z0-051 exam (11gR2) - Oracle Press 11gR1

The pages on the Oracle Web site state that the exam is based on the 11gR2. I am not sure when this changed as I am sure I checked in Nov 10 and it was 11gR1. There is currently no Oracle Press material to cover the most recient release of the database. If I study from the Oracle Press OCA 11g Exam Guide (1Z0-052) am I on safe ground? 11gR2 has some very interesting new features. Will these be included? The exam subject detail doesn't really go down the required level.

1z0-051 Dealing with the exam

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.
