i have some experience with Oracle before, i resigned and passed all 5 exam with 90 days, today i am ocp 8i dba now! happy to share my experience as following:
i can measure the difficulty of all five exams with learning period, as following:
no items period pass score/my score/total payment
1 izo-023: 24 days 42/42/60 60$
2 izo-025: 17 days 42/44/60 290rmb
3 izo-026: 11 days 41/42/57 290rmb
4 izo-024: 20 days 42/44/57 600rmb
5 izo-001: 7 days 39/53/57 600rmb
-- 023 is the hardest, i just pass the exam, too dangerous!
-- 024 is hard to learn, and easier to exam. too many virture table and tuning skill to understand. some table have taken me 5 times to learn. so boring and detail!
-- 025 i prepared sufficiently, go through the experiment with 2~3 times(just following the text book, not the experiment at the end of book). although the score is bad, i have learned the backup and recovery skill yet.
-- 026: some one said it is easy, but not to me. BECacuse not succefully going thought the experiment following the book, i lost a lot of questions about them at the end of serval paragraphs. my lucky has override my shortage, if i lose the exam, ... ..., nightmare! so,be careful!
-- 001: it is the most easy one, even easier than 029 of mcsd. if you have done sts for 2 times, you can pass it easily.
saving the easiest for last, best choise of course!
for the payment, you can ask for paying with us$60 without any off. i am lucky to attend the hot test in shanghai on sept. 26~27. so the payment of my two exam is 290rmb, so GREate! although oracle sales the exam with 542 rmb now in beijing, i am in shanghai ,and have to pay some aditional fee for commission charge and courier fee, therefor i payed 600rmb for the last two exams.
thank you for your patient to look!
