No test center in Brisbane for Oracle 1Z0-052 exam (Oct 2011)

Looking through this forum it looks like this has been a problem on and off for a couple of years.
Anyone know when there will be a testing center in Brisbane?
The nearest one is currently 700km away in Rockhampton - that's not a viable option.

I have the same problem, and I was told by VUE service desk that they had been negotiating with a new test centre in Brisbane, hopefully, it will be opened in November.

  • Oracle 1Z0-052 exam help !!

    Hi,
    I have passed SQL fundamental-I (1Z0-051) exam and now I am preparing for oracle database Administration exam-I(1Z0-052), but I have few questions :
    (1) Is knowledge of linux/solaris is must to pass this exam.
    (2) Is their is any requirement of PL/SQL before starting for this exam study.

    As Brandye says, you should use the exam topics to plan your study.  The answer to your questions, however, is no to both.  You can find links to Oracle documentation, articles, books and videos relevant to this exam here:

    nehaReading your post I am concerned, perhaps for no reason, that you may be targetting more at passing exams and gaining certifications rather than gaining Oracle knowledge and experience.
    The properly perparing DBA candidate attempting to take the exam 'soon' should have calibre to be aware
    - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
    - there is an equivalent book by Sybex (Searchable for on major booksellers).
    - Courses at education.oracle.com
    - Authorised practice Tests: http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sts.html
    - Training from Oracle ... http://www.oracle.com/education
    Be aware there may be offers of unauthorised learning material ....
    http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html
    (Posts like this one often encourages spamming by dishonourable certification unsafe braindump promotors).
    Unlike 1z0-051the 1z0-052 exam treated as a 'high stakes' exam.
    'Easy' is relative; however i suspect many would find 1z0-051 easier than 1z0-052.

  • Pearson VUE -- unable to sit 1Z0-052 exam

    Good day to everyone,
    I am writing to ask for an advice regarding 1Z0-052 exam in Australia with Pearson VUE.
    My experience that it is pretty much impossible due to technical issues in testing centres.
    I have had the exam scheduled for 5th August 2010 in EXCOM Education (Brisbane, Australia), but the exam failed to start on the day.
    After waiting for almost two weeks (Pearson VUE was "investigating incident") and nagging them a few times I've been able to have exam rescheduled to September date. Before the exam date I have been called again and informed that the testing centre is unable to run the exam. Rescheduled again, this time to Dimension Data centre in Brisbane. The nearest available spot happened to be on 25th November.
    The exam failed to start again in the new centre. This time again I've had to call Pearson VUE several times over the past three weeks to get a response... that I have to reschedule the exam again, at a new testing centre.
    The problem is -- there are no more testing centres in Brisbane. The closest centre offered is more than 700 km away, and there is no guarantee that an exam will actually run there this time.
    I am not happy with this solution, as I have wasted two working days already with no results and I don't want to waste time and money again (it would cost me $500 just to get to the testing centre).
    Now it is almost five months since I have been ready to pass the exam and I have not a slightest idea when it might possibly happen.
    Could anyone tell me if s/he has sat an Oracle 11g Administration I exam (1Z0-052) anywhere in Australia?
    I am looking for a testing centre that is actually capable to let me sit the exam, as Pearson just doesn't seem trustworthy anymore.
    Or should I just get a refund and forget about Oracle certification?

    Thanks again, Brandye.
    All problems have been resolved by now.
    I have been contacted by the Pearson VUE in the end of December.
    They said that there is a new testing centre opening in Brisbane that would be able to deliver the exam.
    I was also refunded the exam fee I have paid before and given a voucher code for a free retest.
    I have successfully passed the test at the Training Choice testing centre and now happily await the certification kit.
    I dare to say that before you interfering my perspectives did not look promising, so thanks for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Nikita Nadezhdin

  • Simple question about 1z0-052 exam

    Hello everyone,
    When I went to my local testing site to register exam, my Vue administrator told me that 1z0-052 exam is labeled as Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I!
    So, the question is, is this exam that is needed to finish OCA certification?
    Since there is minor mismatch in name(VUE has workshop in a name of exam, while Oracle site does not, but the exam code is same - 1z0-052),so I would really like to be 100% sure that I'm registering for the right exam.
    Thanks in advance

    The link [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_052] which is authorative
    Links the exam entitled: Oracle Database 11g: Administration I on 1 1-1 basis with code +1Z0-052+
    Given you have implied you have passed a relevant SQL exam, 1z0-052 is all that remains for you to complete requirements for 11g DBA OCA.

  • OCP for Oracle 9i first exam??

    Hi guys,
    I began to prepare me for the first exam 1Z0-007(SQL).
    Now I would like to know your experiences with preparing
    for the first exam.
    I use the Sybex book OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide for preparing, is that ok or
    enough?
    Do I have to know really everything. Especially the Chapter with the single row functions in the Sybex book.There are hundreds of functions with their arguments.
    What is very important for the exam?
    I work since 1,5 years with Oracle Databases and so so I have a little experience with SQL.
    How long do you prepare for the test???
    I would be very happy for your requests.
    thanxx
    Schoeib

    Schoeib:
    First of all, if your exam is only on SQL then it could be entirely different than the one I took. My exam lasted 2 hours and had 57 multiple choice questions. The exam is kind of like the practice tests especially the Prometric ones (because they are the company that administers the exam). However, the exam is probably harder in that most of the practice exams aren't as in depth as the real exam. I probably studied my material for about 2-3 hours a day for 5 weeks then the week before the exam I studied much more. It just depends on how you learn. I learn by repition, so I have to go over things several times before I can ingrain them in my head. It may take you less time. I would just make sure that I knew what any clause put before me did or meant! Because if you forget to study one little part that could be the part that the questions happen to come from. The test costs $125 and if you don't pass you must wait 30 days before you can retake it, so I would make sure I knew the stuff backwards and forwards before I took the exam. The best way to judge yourself is by taking the practice exams. I scored almost exactly the same on the real test as I had been scoring on my practice exams. Don't take the real exam until you can consistently score above 85% on the practice exam (you need to get 68% correct on the 1Z0-001 exam to pass). It may be different for yours though. That meant I could get 18 questions wrong, so its not too bad! Regarding the Prometric Exams -- I got them on a CD from a class I took, so I can't help you there -- aside from telling you that they are worth doing. **** For all info. on your specific exam go to education.oracle.com and look up the 9i exam requirements. This will tell you all you need to study and about the specific test ie. number of questions, passing score, etc. Hope this helps.

    Hello i realized my 1z0-007(96%) exam it s 10 days now,but in the pearson vue web site i have my status with error.The status must be changed to pass.
    i sended an email to pearson vue via the web site but no reply. How can I resolve this situation??

    4)sureIt will be Pearson VUE's job to sort that out.
    In general from what i see on this forum they generally tend to get things fixed.
    - Two things i have noted:
    --- There are indications the Pearson VUe software may have been have having the occasional problem recently.
    --- This problem can be caused by the test center not sending the result to Pearson VUE to to commications problems.
    IMHO you will gain need to contact Pearson VUE. Either:
    1) Try their contact form from the Website. Indicate it is your second email. Esnure you fill in your oracle testing id, peason vue id, etc.
    or:
    2) Ring them by telephone.
    .... In either circumstance please ensure you get an incident number. The incident number is a unique reference that can be escalated if the need arises.

  • Preperation for Oracle 10g OCA exams

    Hi all,
    I am interested in finding out what exam prep guides helped you out the most for Oracle 10g OCA certification exams. Also what test exams helped you out the most for the 10g OCA exams?
    Got exams coming up next week, so please help!!!
    Thanks!

    >>
    Believe me, just for the certification sake you wanna be OCA?
    I have come across of people who simply read test exam question, go to the testing centers and do pass the exams. What they really loosing here with this approch is that no confidence of their skills, not reading Oracle docs and testing the same, and when they face interview they had to find really some difficult question where there won't be any multiple choice list. This make the interviewrs or the concern person feeling that the OCA/P has really no strength.
    I would rather keep myslef reading the docs and doing the R&D before I appear for the exam.
    As you said, you don't want to spend much money for getting OCA, its like wasting your money completing an OCA, if you don't answer interviewer questions and didn't get the job.
    I am not discouraging you, rather, trying to put you on some confidence ROAD.

  • 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'
