Passed 8i New Features

I passed 8i New Features today!

I have to admit this exam is very difficult because ...
Oracle has recently made a lot of changes to the test contents for this exam and thus the study materials that I used - cramsession's notes and STS practice exams - are both out of date.

I can only answer (with confidence) 40% of the exam questions, and have to guess for the rest 60% questions. Fortunately, I have got a lot of experiences in guessing answers, so finally I got a 85% score.

Thanks for all the people who answered my questions previously posted in this forum.

Good luck to you all!

Congratulation! Could you please post the categories of test questions for this test? I am planning to take this very soon.

Thanks

I passed the other day as well, and yes, it was very difficult and a lot of the content seemed completely unfamiliar . Here are the categories :

Java in the Database
Optimizer and Query
Summary Management
Indexes and Index-Organized Tables
Object Relational Features and LOBS
Partitioning Improvements
Oracle Universal Installer : Migration and Upgrade
Tablespace Management
Database Resource Manager
Manageability Enhancements
Availability and Recoverability Enhancements
Features of NET8
SQL*Plus, Pl/SQL, and National Language Support Enhancements
Database Security

The topics I most struggled with were NET8 (some networking stuff I had no idea about ), Partitioning Improvements (indexes, I think ) and Availability and Recoverability Enhancements.

By the way, since it is very hard to prepare for all materials, you will definitely meet some questions that you've never seen before, I supply some tips for guessing answers:

1. choose LONGER answer(s)
2. choose the answer in which some specific word(s) repeat most times
3. choose C
4. choose B

Note: use the above tips on your own risks.

Thanks a millions Woexpert !

Appreciated :)

Thanks a lot "woexpert"
