I took a very heavy reading approach to passing the exams. I read the Oracle 8 (I know the exam was 7.3, but I felt like reading up on Oracle 8) Server Concepts v1 & v2, Oracle 8 Backup & Recovery, and part of Oracle 8 Server Tuning, then browsed the Instructor Led Training guides, and finally practiced the free exam given at the education.oracle.com site.

After doing all that reading, I felt that the exams were really easy. I also think that reading all the conceptual stuff is essential to anyone who wants to work with Oracle.

I'm not sure, but I believe I saw someone post up a URL for a free online set of oracle documentation.
