Re: Oracle Certification - Study Material

Brainbench.com has some free certification tests you can take and even get a "Certification" from them. Also, Self Test Software provides both sample and full question sets you can purchase for I believe $99 per test. They come with something like 250 questions on each test. The samples provide I believe 20 questions. I took the O7 DBA test and used the exam cram guides. They were pretty close. I am in the process of studying for the O8 upgrade, so unfortunately, I can't tell you what to expect on the full O8 tests as far as study material.
