Try out self study materials from http://www.selftestsoftware.com they are simply outstanding. I have always found them helpful for all my exams. But at same time I never totally rely on them, I first complete my ground work with standard syllabus (available on Oracle OCP site) and Oracle Documentation then only I Open them ;-).

Subject:	Fwd: Oracle Press OCP exam guide frustrations

All,

I just purchased a Oracle9i Fundamentals I exam guide published by Oracle Press and am very disappointed with the quality of the publication. There seems to be quite a few mistakes, misleading sentences and typos (not in the Errata) which is very frustrating.

Also, there is a question in the "Managing Tablespaces and Datafiles" chapter that replies on the order of the multiple-choices, however the quiz software randomises the choices so the question no longer makes sense - and is impossible to answer as presented.

For those that have completed the OCP exam, is this what I am to expect?

Does anyone know of any other resources I might be able to use? How are the OCP exam guides published by Sybex?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Craig.
