But you won't know until after people who take the actual exam! Plus, it's three times the number of questions in twice the time. For IZ1-147 9i PL/SQL, I had 3 hours to do 183 questions. Big long ugly questions. I won't do another beta exam.

When I took the 8i beta certfication, I was charged "only" $25.00, but the test was much longer and they solicited feedback on each question. When I didn't receive my certification in the mail over the next couple months, I called Oracle to ask when I would receive it. It turns out that passing the beta certification did not confer certification. I had taken the exam with the understanding that I was getting certified for less money (i.e. $25.00 instead of $100, $125, $400, etc). Instead, it turns out that I was being charged $25.00 for the privilege of helping Oracle beta test their exam. I had to take the test again, paying $125, in order to receive my certification. I don't know whether this is true of the 10g beta... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@freelists.org put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
