From Oracle 9i Oracle changed the requirements for
some certification tracks to include training classes:
OCP - You need to attend one hands-on
training class at Oracle University. See Oracle's
web site for a list of courses.
OCM - You need to attend two advanced
training classes at Oracle University. See Oracle's
website for a list of courses.
All other tracks - No courses required.
It might be a good idea to attend some relevant
courses before taking an exam, but poor people
like me must often do without it.
Note that all the questions are compiled from
the official Oracle training guides. one gets
when attending an Oracle class (Instructor Led
Course). It is advisable to get these guides by
attending the Oracle training classes before taking
any of the exams.
See section: info
about training events/oportunities.

Previously all OCP exam were scored on a 200-800
scale, with 620 as the passing score for all exams.
With this scaling system, the number of points each
question was worth varied between exams, and candidates
could not compare their scores across exams.
Oracle has decided to abandon the scaled scores
and instead report only the candidates' raw scores.

Yes, you may mark certain question that you feel
are difficult and review them at the end of the
exam. After you clicked the submit button, the tool
will tell you that you have marked questions and
allow you to jump to them. Both marked and unmarked
questions will be scored when finally submitting
the exam.

The Oracle OCP exams are not scored negatively.
This means that you can safely guess answers as
no points will be deducted for incorrect answers.
It is best to check if you have actually answered
ALL questions before completing the exam. If you
are running short on time, just click any answer
and move on. This way you will at least have a
chance to get some of them right.

If you fail a test you can re-write it after a minimum
of 30 days, provided you do not write a particular
test more than three times in a twelve-month period.
After each exam you will receive some diagnostic
feedback with the test score report indicating
the areas that need further study.
There is no discount price for re-taking an exam.
The fee is the same as for the initial exam.
