Just finished this a few months ago. My advice is to use the
Oracle Exam
Guide, Sybex Exam Guides, and Exam Cram as a third choice,
but get the other
two first. The ExamCram has much more detail, but does not
explain concepts
well. The STS (selftestsoftware.com) practice tests are
really very good.
I only used one, but it was done very well. I passed all
tests on the first
try with an average of about 90%. The actual tests are MUCH
harder than the
practice tests in the study guides (any of them).
Also note, you not only need to study, but also TRY things.
I installed
Oracle on Linux at home and tinkered to my heart's content.
Make sure you
understand the DBA and V$ views or you won't pass.
Best of luck,
Ed
