I scheduled mine over lunch... without the luxury of being able to take
all the time off I need to take tests all day. It is why it took me 2.33
years for my undergrad degree and 4 years to finish my masters... it is all a
matter of my setting my priorities, not in being able to pass a mess of
multiple choice tests in a day.

Hi!
Why did you take 8 + 1 tests for 8 and 8i DBA? 5
+ 1 should have been enough?
Back in summer of 1999 when I wen't to EOUG
yearly conference, Oracle promoted their OCP exams there and let people take
their exams free. I thouht, what the heck, let's give it a try - and completed
all 5 exams in one day ;) After that I was kind of disappointed that the exams
were so easy (I had only about 1,5 yr Oracle experience by then).
But now I see guys who spend a month memorizing
every word in exam cram books and still pass the exams, without having any
skill to maintain actual real life databases... Currently, only thing OCP says
to me right now, is that the guy/girl owning it, isn't a complete loser and at
least is willing to do someting. Whether getting OCP is the right thing to do
fist in Oracle career, is a different issue.

for 8 and 8i, I used the Exam cram books and the Osborne book for
8i. Took all of the 8 OCP tests and the upgrade test in 8
weeks.

Hello Folks,
I have discovered something *very* disturbing. We have a
person(x2) who has earned their MCDBA - Microsoft DBA certifiction. These
two don't have any clue, about database issues, when pressed to how they
did it, it came out that they used the threads on a website called
www.braindumps.com Beyond the ethical implications and all the other
issues.
Has anyone on this list used the tips/suggestions to study
for their OCP exams? Are they any good as an aid?
Regards
