Paula,
Your experience sounds very similar to mine which I documented on
http://www.hcresources.co.uk/ocp.htm <http://www.hcresources.co.uk/ocp.htm>
. I used the Exam Cram series and was very happy with them.
I am booked for the 8i upgrade next week but despite using 8i for however
long it has been available I cannot believe how much there is to learn.
I can see myself putting off the exam once again
John

Sorry I didn't respond sooner - been up to my neck recovering from a bad
controller. Anyway - 8i. If Mike Ault wrote a cram book for 9i upgrade I
would get that one too. Please don't tell me that 8i ceritfication is
retired.

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. 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.
