What you said and this also. It cheapens the value of the test. When
"trick" questions are used, it becomes a game of trickery rather than of
mastery.
I think we've covered this topic before. It is a revenue stream for Oracle. Nothing more.

Last time I looked, there was quite a bit of information on the SelfTest software website about their test item construction. I once was a Navy instructor and worked on test banks: back then we spent a good bit of effort not to produce an English test and "trick" questions were not used. Self Test Software seems to have exactly the opposite attitude about it. When these type of items are included, considering how many people taking these tests are not native English speakers as well, leads me to believe they are not fair and don't actually test mastery of the material.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the exam tested something important rather than ambiguous terminology?
I hate exams that throw in questions that mean nothing just to try and catch someone on a vague recollection of something that they might have heard in a class.

I believe that "server side procedures" is a term related to the use of rman scripts therefore A would be the answer. Answer B would be correct for stored procedures.

Hmmm... As the term is "Server side procedures" and not "Database Stored Procedures", I would rule out B,C & D - but I might have a twisted perception of these questions.... ;)
DBAs know "stored procedures" -- the source code is visible in USER/ALL/DBA_SOURCE to those who have EXECUTE permision on the procedure.
