If you can borrow someone's course notes even better as they do not stray from there. Your friend may have simply buckled under pressure or he did nothing but read the books. It helps to go through examples and play in your database. That way, when they throw you a question with different wording then what the book had you will be ok. Reading the manuals wouldn't hurt either (well, skimming them actually).

The reason because of limited knowledgebase, it is always better to hve multple books, even they are expensive. ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 5:40 AM > Hi > > I have been a DBA for a few years now, I am consdering doing the OCP exams > > I have bought the Oracle 8i DBA certification Exam Guide. > > However I have been informed by a fellow DBA that he bought the same book, > studied it and took the practice tests and was getting around 90% in > these tests.. however when he came to doing the actual he just failed ! > > Does anyone have any thoughts on this ? > > Also is it possible to get mock exams that are more reflective of the > actual exams , from anywhere > > Regards > > Saj > > > > > -- > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com > -- > Author: Sajid Iqbal > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 > San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
