Re: ????? Suggestions on Oracle 9i OCP prep ????

I've taken the 9i NF test and passed it - 2nd time around. I've worked with Oracle as an OCP instructor for some six years, went in feeling over-confident after a days Backup/Recovery training and scored 37 when the pass mark was 38.

I found the format of the test somewhat confusing till I got my brain around questions that required you to identify four out of five incorrect answers. Once I figured out that if I could determine the correct answer, the other four must be wrong, the answers came much more easily :)

Now, if I could only find a use for 9i .....
