Hello,
I purchased the book OCA Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) and the practice exam that comes with the book requires an 80% score to pass but on the Oracle University site it says 60% is a passing score. Do you know if this just an error in the book or have the passing requirements changed?

Hi Steve - 60% is the correct number. I think that 80% might just be a figure for the practice test in the book itself [not for the real exam].
Cheers,

Hi,
I had failed it once for the first time. I just gave this exam and passed it. Do I receive a certificate? I took the non proctored version.
Thanks

I have this book and am not very impressed with it.
The practice exam included on the CD has errors in it, for example:
one question in particular has a multiple choice of A,B,C or D.
You choose D as the correct answer, but it is marked incorrect.
The study guide states:
Correct answer: A,B & C
Explanation:
D is the correct answer because....
There are a number of similar faults with this and the bonus downloadable practice test.
I took the test once so far and failed it, extremely suprised at how different the questions are to the practice tests. This book does not strike me as a very good exam guide at all.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else has been as unimpressed as I have with this book?

Hi Steve - that sounds quite frustrating! I'm not sure which book you're referring to. as this blog post is about an exam. Can you help clarify?
Cheers,

Hi Chandra - so far I'm only aware of the materials that Oracle itself has published as part of the class. I haven't yet seen any standalone study guides.

Hi All,
some of the links in this article are outdated. Prometric no longer hosts the exams. Pearson VUE is the testing partner now:

I just took this test unproctored online and failed. It was extremely difficult in my opinion. Very few of the questions were straighforward. Seemed more tailored to the developer crowd. I have already passed the Admin tests but tthis one has me worried. Any suggestions on how to prepare. I used Transcender's testing suite but obviously that didn't work. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
