The exam covers many real-world problem solving scenarios that can't be
covered on a "cheat-sheet". To answer these questions within the allotted
time to take the test, experience must come into play. The relatively
high failure rate helps validate that those who pass the exam know what
they're doing. In my view, the DBA certification exam doesn't measure
knowledge as much as it measures experience. Therefore, it should be
taken seriously.

The DBA Certification exam is designed to measure your "in-the-trenches"
applied Oracle experience - and not just general Oracle knowledge.
