Here are a couple of questions that come to mind when thinking about Oracle certification:

1. Is Oracle Certification beneficial for Job Seekers?

Certification is just a couple of questions which is based on concepts and theory. However, any job requires practical DBA experience. So, my advice to any Oracle newbie is to first get some practical experience, then go for certification.

2. How to prepare for Oracle Certification?

Oracle Certification is an examination. So, some rules apply which we follow in our college examination.

1. First define which Oracle Paper you want to write.
Go through below link and choose your paper

2. Second check Exam Topic, Objective.
Suppose we choose “izo-007” introduction to SQL paper. So now check what is exam topic is come in “introduction to SQL paper”. Because SQL is very big topic and exam question based on some most important chapters.
Check Exam topic for “introduction to SQL” paper

4. Looking for Dumps?
You know what is Dumps?
Dumps are real question which comes in Oracle Certification.
Some centre sold exam question like dumps for money and it is illegal please check it below link
http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/canagreemt.html
And suppose you will get dumps from anywhere …so please don’t depend on it.
It is not sure all question comes from dumps.
Because some prometric centre keeps real question in their centre and refresh periodically. But some prometric centre like oracle prometric centre use main server through internet.
