1Z0-071: Oracle Db SQL Certified Associate: Practice Tests

Course details

About The Course

The "1Z0-071: Oracle Db SQL Certified Associate: Practice Tests" course contains 3 complete tests (totalling to 219 questions). 

The practice questions are categorised according to the official Oracle Exam Topics at the "Oracle Database SQL _ Oracle Certification Exam" page. 

Each complete test (there are 3) has full coverage (100%) of the major categories. 

The questions are about 5% easier than the real exam questions. 

The questions are the best out there. 

All the questions underwent thorough review to remove any traces of vagueness or inaccuracy.

What are the requirements?

• The student should have studied everything mentioned in the exam topics published by Oracle.
• The student should have done hands-on usage or practice of the SQL constructs mentioned in the exam topics published by Oracle.

What am I going to get from this course?

• If the student have a weakness on any topic (Knowledge Area, or Official Exam Category), they will be able to identify it. They can then restudy those topics.
• If the student is strong on some topics, he will be able to identify it. He will have more confidence on these topics.
• The student will be able to pass the "Oracle Database SQL 1Z0-071" exam.

What is the target audience?

Anyone who wants to pass the "Oracle Database SQL 1Z0-071" exam.

How To Pass The Test

1. Study all the topics mentioned in the official Oracle list of exam topics.
2. The exam has a lot of questions that are related to SQL statement syntax. It is almost necessary that you feel very comfortable (and fast) in evaluating statements and scenarios. This can be achieved by doing actual hands-on on the SQL commands and statements.
3. Use the Practice Test 1 in this course. Follow the time limit. Do not extend over the time limit. This is so that you get the feel of the real test. Even if you havent answered all the questions, you must stop the test. You must do this to learn time management. You must monitor the time while taking the test, so that you will know if you are at the risk of reaching the time limit without processing all the questions. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEST MORE THAN ONCE. This test (and any practice test anywhere) is good only the first time. Of course, you can take it as many as you want. What is meant here, is that, it wouldnt be a realistic experience on your side, because you may have memorized some of the questions already. The score on your second try, would be misleading.
4. Study EACH question in the result of your Practice Test 1 test. Know why the correct choices are correct, and why the wrong choices are wrong. This is what differs those who score high in the real test, and those who dont.
5. Identify your weaknesses (topics or Knowledge Area that you scored low), and study them further.
6. Repeat Step 3, 4 and 5 above, on the Practice Test 2.
7. Unfortunately, there are only 2 tests. Hopefully, this is enough to help you pass the test.  At this point, you should have identified your remaining weaknesses. Study them further.
8. On the night before the test, sleep enough - e.g. at least 8 hours.
9. On the day of the test
   • If it is OK with you, take coffee or something similar, about 30 minutes before the test, to make you more alert during the real test.
   • It is also observed that meditating for a few minutes before the test, helps clear your mind and become more receptive.
   • Better take a less stressful path to the testing center. For example, take a taxi, instead of taking a bus or train, to avoid loading your mind with other things that you dont need in the test.
   • Better schedule your test as the first thing in the day. For example, it is better to take it as the first thing in the morning, instead of going to work in the morning, and taking the test in the afternoon. You need energy in your body and clarity in your mind when taking the test.
