I got the self-test for the first test, studied using that and read Mike Ault's Exam cram book from front to back (excellent resource, concise, straightforward, good examples - just a couple of errors in whole book). Total test time was about 30 hours. Took the exam this morning in 60 minutes (120 alloted), got 49 out of 57 questions correct and passed. I really want to thank Mike Ault for the excellent concise Cram book and intend to continue on this same path for the other exams.

I really want to thank Mike Ault for the excellent concise Cram book and intend to continue on this same path for the other exams. Unfortunately, Mike didn't write all of them - however, I am hoping they are all of the same level of quality. I haven't taken a course in Oracle (any) for about 5 year and SQL/PLSQL in about 10-12. Total hours to prepare : 30 hours Resources: Exam Cram by Mike Ault and self-test exam Any additional costs - none Didn't want to study on clients time so ended up studying mostly between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. in the morning. Hope the others go well and can get this done before Oracle changes the criteria.

Which version you are talking about? 8i or 9i upgrade certification Regards Rafiq Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2002 08:53:19 -0800 Well, Given the IT market I felt that it was worth getting certified even though I haven't had any problems and been working with Oracle as DBA for over 8 years. However, I decided that I didn't want to spend a lot of money or time to do it. I have 2 small children, work, - yadayadayada(sp?). I got the self-test for the first test, studied using that and read Mike Ault's Exam cram book from front to back (excellent resource, concise, straightforward, good examples - just a couple of errors in whole book). Total test time was about 30 hours. Took the exam this morning in 60 minutes (120 alloted), got 49 out of 57 questions correct and passed.
