Congratulations Pete. I did not fare so well with the beta test. I used
the CBTs from Oracle because I can not get to a class (Damagement has
disallowed training classes until the project is completed). I found the
CBTs did not cover the all of the topics that were actually on the test. ( I
also found that quality control in the generation of CBTs is hughly
lacking). I have decided to hold off on retaking the exams until i can get
to the class or more study material is available from people other than
Oracle press. (Danial Morgan has a current post about some blatent errors he
found in the 9i OCP SQL manual.) I found some excellent stuff on Howard
Rogers site but not until 2 days after the test.
