Oracle Certification Exam Design (Part 1) – Exam Design Philosophy
Joel talks about the history of Oracle’s exam development methodologies and how they have changed from since the program first launched. There are some real hidden gems in Joel’s presentation. Understanding how we develop our exams can give you some great insight to how you can best study and prepare to earn your Oracle Certification.

Hi,
I recently completed my PL/SQL exam. I hope you have taken a course on that. Oracle Courseware is the best to prepare for the exam. THere are unscored questions on that.
There aree lot of questions on procedures,functions,subprograms,packages,lobs, trggers and depedencies.
You need to clearly understand the difference between package specification and package body, where you need to use subprograms, the difference between row level trigger and statement level trigger, Directory Object used to create Lob, UTl, Dependencies, how to invoke procedures and functions.
Thanks
Girija

Good news.

Oracle certification doubt ....

Hi ,
I am using oracle db seens last 8 months in my project .
Currently i am giving SCJP exam for Java certification next month(as in my project we are using java as front end and oracle 11i as backend ).
just after that i am planning to go for Oracle certification .
but i am not sure which certification i should go for ...
for more details : i am working as software engg (developer) and have basic idea about SQL queries , procedure,functions,cursors etc..
I want to do certification which will add a value to my career as developer so that it will help me in IT industry.
thanks a lot.

My personal suggestion (any others may say differently) is :
(1) concentrate on on your SCJP first. i know your probably young, but keep focused on that and dont get distracted.
If you successfully clear that, aim to do :
(2) Aim to do 1z0-051 next (11g-SQL) ( Hint: There's an Oracle Press Book focusing on this exma).
(3) Next do Do 1z0-144 after that. (11-gPL/SQL)
This should give you a PL/SQL developer OCA certification.
choosing to d 1z0-051 / 1z0-144 looks initially more daunting than the 1z0-007/1z0-147 alternatives but I personally would regard the former as more modern and relevant exams( I may be the only who thinks this way though).

But the most important thing is to keep focused on getting the SCJP first

Hi All,

Your statements may be ambiguous, I cannot be sure what you mean by 'fundamentals exams'.
There is a developer track for those interested in PL/SQL developer, is that what you are looking for?

I've now read on your subject what you meant by fundamentals +(if all else fails read the original posters question)+.. ie 9i DBA OCA and 9i DBA OCP .... no for you forget those and and follow the link to the Pl/SQL developer track ....
Edited by: bigdelboy on 09-Aug-2009 16:28
Exam order is not important, but you dont get certificates unless pre-requisites all met. The is an interesting cheap beta exam arround at present if you are up for it ... 1z0-144

Thanks a lot for your reply. As you said i'm very new to this and i completely understand how it is to write exam directly. i gave got a guidelines to learn the oracle 9i and 10g, they can also help me in practicing the query and lab session. but i cannot go for certification with that help. i have just started with curiosity. so after i complete this course is it possible to complete the exam, and how can i apply for the exam? could you help me with this?
Thanks and Regards
Dhivya MI am still not fully sure I understand whether you are seeking training or how to register for the exam.
To see where you can take the exam goto: http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle/locate/
To register to schedule and sit the exam goto http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle/
To locate the certification you are wishing to obtain and the exams required for it: https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141
http://certiifcation.oracle.com is a valuable resource. Be sure you have fully read everything relevant under 'getting started' and also 'support - faq'
If you are seeking training:-
1) See education.oracle.com for Oracle University Training.
2) You might find the Workforce development program give more cost effective training: https://workforce.oracle.com/pls/wdp/new_home.main . Please note that I believe their website can be misleading; especially for some countries.
Please note that certain (typically higher) Certifications require a course attendance from an appropriate institution. Particularly If you are not going through Oracle University ensure that your certification course requirements will mean the certification requirements, and if in any doubt do not rely upon the course providers word.

Updating Oracle Certification, which exam I should pass?

Hello, everyone, please can anybody advice me, regarding question in topic. My Solaris Administrator Certificate will expire in June, and Solaris Network Specialist in July, earlier in Sun there was one exam, for updating current certification. But now we have Solaris 11, which exam I can pass for updating my Solaris certification. Can I pass Solaris 11 exam, for example "transition to Solaris 11" for updating my certification.
Thank you in advance.

Certifications do not expire, but we do recommend that you keep your certifications up-to-date. Exam 1Z0-820 will upgrade your certification to Solaris 11 (training not required, but recommended). There is not an 11 version of the Network Admin at this time, but your current certification will not expire.

Is Peoplesoft Application Designer part of the Peoplesoft OVM Template?

I am totally new to Peoplesoft. Is PeopleSoft Application Designer part of the Peoplesoft OVM Template and how can I access it in order to development?
Thanks for any help.

You'll have to build your own VM, or just use any workstation as a Peoplesoft client to run AppDesigner.
It has been discussed in the Peoplesoft OVM forum, in that thread :

Oracle Free vouchers : Also for OCM exams?

Dear Oracle Certification forum members
I would like to know if the OPN Free vouchers can also be requested on the Oracle Certified Master exam?
Or do we have at least the 25% discount?
Thanks for your help.

Hub,
The 100% partner discount codes are not applicable to the OCM exams. However, the 25% discount is. Since the OCM exam is registered for thru Oracle University rather than Prometric, the process for receiving the voucher is a little different. You can find instructions on this page http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/ocppartners.html at the very bottom of the page.
