RE: advise needed

Here is a link to the exam objectives:
http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/objectives/index.html?content. html
This is also in Couchman's book. If you have Couchman's practice exams, this should be enough for you. If you are scoring high on his practice tests, you shouldn't have a problem on the actual exam. I found his exams were actually a little harder than the actual exam.
Hope this helps.

Hello Dennis
Thanks for writing back to me
You are right this is my first exam ,
I did not sign up for the exam online. There is an Oracle testing center here, but I have not seen the "exam objectives". I do have the book by couchman, I have studied theory ( and done practicals) , now I was thinking of doing just test papers. You mentioned the quality of test papers, tell me does http://www.informit.com/examcram2/ have good stuff ? Could you guide me about which topics are important ?
