I just passed the exam 1z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL today by scoring 43 out of 52 questions. This bad for me as my target is 48. My next exam is 1z0-147 PL/SQL has passing score 77% of 66 question for 90 minutes exam. While 1z0-007 exam is 71% passing score of 52 questions for 2 hours exam. Definitely pl/sql exam is more difficult from sql exam. If I’m not prepare very well for sure I’ll fail my next pl/sql exam.
One thing that makes me funny with the exam is about 90% questions are from Testking, ActualTest, etc. Some questions have exact word!. I took only 5-10 seconds to answer that kind of question. It’s very lucky for me to do sample test before sit the exam. If I’m only depend to the reading (book by Chip Dawes) I maybe fail today. But it not means you can only use dumps to sit the exam. The main objective you take the exam is knowledge in Oracle database. You must honest to yourself. So the right thing for you is reading book and well understands the concept before doing sample exam.
Exam cost
The exam cost me for RM300. I can’t believe a hundred thousands Oracle database has inexpensive exam. Sun Java exam (SCJP) cost you for RM1k. Maybe demand is high for Java certificate. I also preparing for SCJP before I move to Oracle Cert. Most people said that SCJP has high failing rate. That is true. You need to cover all basic Java language in one exam. But I plan to take this exam after I got my OCA in pl/sql cert. In fact the main reason I take Oracle exam is to get better salary, with different organization which can improve my experience and knowledge.
I’ll discuss with you some Tesking, ActualTest I used for the exam in next posting. Some of question has incorrect answer while some question is confusing. I‘ll give you sample question and comparison to the book that I use so you can make it clear or comment on it if I’m wrong.
