Although there are certainly some dodgy questions and correspondingly suz

True. I took the beta OCP tests in 1997, with about 150 questions
per test. They were free at OOW, so it seemed like a good price.

Hi all
I have a problem with a lot of the commentary on the OCP that I have read
here and elsewhere, especially that which focusses on specific questions and
the, ahem, 'product features' associated with them. My problem is this. To
me the OCP, or rather the OU courses and the associated revision
the pl/sql exam is really bad too. It got worse from 8i to 9i. 10% of the
exam was on DBMS_LOB and no other packages were touched? I had about 6-7
questions on parameter ordering.
Its accurate, just useless.
I thought the architecture test wasn't bad at all. The 8i backup and
recovery one was 'ok
or from the other side: the right one, and the one pig-headed students are
convinced is right (even if you can incontrovertably demonstrate they are
wrong). Does that make three answers? or two answers with three labels?

Yes, I was the one. I was just wondering whether the OCP performance
exam was really as bad as it used to be. I haven't seen it since
whatever the things were called back in the early 90s. From some of what
I've seen here, the answer is that yes it is the same. Not just
philosophically the same, bu
Wasn't it you, Cary, who got tought by his parents that every question has
two answers: The right one and the one the teacher wants to hear? And you
had to learn them both?
That's merely what OCP is about, I think. Get a certificate to get hired,
and get the proper knowledge to remain hired ;-)
>From past history:
I passed the 8 and 8i exams without having done any work in either
version, nor did I study for them. I used Jonathan's method of using
later questions to infer the answer to earlier ones, in part. Marlene

Misconceptions, superstitions and myths are always useful to know
and believe in. They make people better socialized and the risk
of being burnt at stake as a heretic(metaphorically, of course)
is much lower.

My question, Richard, is can a person pass the exam just by studying
what is correct? Or is it necessary to work harder to acquire some
"veneer of false knowledge" specifically in order to pass the exam?

Hi Richard ,
Many a thanx for both of your replies .
All my worry is : do such questions appear in the real exams also ?
And your reply has increased my self-confidence.
