Also, the exam was on a computer that made it hard to answer the questions as you had to scroll the screen all the time. My question is this - I thought I was good at this stuff, and did not pass. I just did not study the right stuff. There were also three questions that I have never seen. One as about "PROJECTING" in SQL*Plus. Have any of you seen this? I'm NOT complaining, or giving up, just feeling frustrated that I studied a lot and have many years of experience and did not pass this. Any thoughts so this does not happen again? Thanks Stu
