I don't worry about knowing too much about Oracle.  At the same time I am
worried about maximizing my time as time has an opportunity cost -  I have
heard that the Benjamin book is incorrect in places.  I think Robert's book,
the self-tests and Metalink, Oracle Docs for clarification works for me.  I
also have the basic OCP 9i exam kit (not upgrade).

I agree with Roberts about level of exam. His book covers new features. 
Poula should buy Danial Benjamin's  book as well as your book and STS 
pratice test. In case of any clarification , Oracle Docs must be consulted 
to understand the concept of new features clearly....

Use OTN20 code to get 20% discount on test.

Rafiq

Good luck. As way of disclosure, my book was never written to cover the
entire 9i Upgrade Exam. So, make sure that you use the exam objectvies to
shore up on missing areas.

Look me up at IOUG-A!

Good luck!

Robert

I have decided to go with your book and the self-test exams.  I don't
think I am interested in the Benjaman book.  I remember you said that
the upgrade was the most difficult - and I took note.

Not to scare you but I think the 9i upgrade exam is the hardest of the
bunch. My book is a good start I'd like to think. I've seen mixed
responses
on the Benjaman book, but it can't hurt.
