To prepare for the exam, I read the Couchman book, the Oracle PL/SQL manual as well as a O'Reilly PL/SQL books. As well I did the self-study exam. I was surprised though that there were a few questions in the exam that were not covered in Couchman's book. It's been a year since I wrote the the exam, but one of the questions on the exam, which I don't remember being covered by Couchman's book was on how to code "COMMENT" statements. Rosemary wrote in message news:8mhusp$2bc$1@nnrp1.deja.com... Hi: To the people who recently took OCP DBA Exam1: Introduction to PL/SQL, How difficult it is? I have Michael Ault's "EXAM CRAM" Book, Couchman's "EXAM GUIDE" and also SelfTest's CD with 302 questions. And I understand most of them. But someone who took the exam before said the real test questions are more difficult than these, like a level higher. Is it true? I have never taken any exam yet and I thought (and guess) the difficult level should be similar to SelfTest's practice questions (on CD). Any response will be appreciated. Thanks.
