Well,well, I just came back from the testing center. Fortunately, I passed, but the score is very tentative.

I am not a DBA. I have very little experience in administrating oracle database. The only purpose I learned OCA exam is because I think this is the best way to obtain the key skills.



During the past 3 months, I am sure I totally digested this book. But finally I found this book is far from enough to pass the test. I ordered the "self test" and found I can only pass 50% in the mock tests. Does the "self test" over kill?

After taking the real exam, I found the difficulty of the real test is between the self tests and the book. If you only read this book and you do not have so much practical experience, I am sure you can not pass. I have the feeling, the knowledge in the book is too out-of-date. However, I really had not any better books to read for the test.



Good luck guys.
