   Thanks everyone for pointing out the value of the original test certificate. I'm sitting here is stunned bafflement at how inconsistent this is with the idea of "high tech". ( background sound of DBA frantically riffling through stacks of papers on his desk)

Dennis,
 When i was taking the initial OCP exams I received a score sheet from the testing orginization the day I passed each test. The only time I received any thing related to Oracle was after I passed all tests and then I received a certification suitable for framing. I also received an email that directed me to the Oracle site where the "Certified Professional" logo image is stored and a password to download the image (suitable for business cards and letterheads).

Hey - when I took each exam, the testing organization says that I should
receive something from Oracle within a couple of weeks. Got nothing. Should
I be worried?

Hey William,

Why are you 40% OCP - does this mean you are an OCA? When did you take your
very
first 9i certification exam? If you took it before Sept. 1, 2002, the you're
a
50% OCP.
