Hi all, this forum is a great place to share my thought,

I have played around with oracle for over 2.5 years now. Basically table maintenance,
Creating new sql inserts, modifying pl/sql objects, importing, altering, exporting databases, installing web servers, dropping, recreating object etc. This has been in the capacity as an a assistant to a senior dba ( Kind of the guy who does the ground work..setting up servers, loading software, creating tablespaces, importing dumps, creating insrtances, etc..)

Want to pursue DBA Certifications now after having wetted my feet in this technology.

Am preparing for the 1 exam, 1Z0001 ( PL?SQL) ( DBA Oracle 8 track, 8i Track) for i have the material for it.

Completed the following:
1. Read the Couchman book on racle certification.
2. Flipped through Oracle Documention which comes on the CD..really fast ,,cause there' sa ton of information
3. Have taken STS practise test: Scoring on the 66-71 % range.
4. HAve gone through Oraclenotes.com etc
5. Have tried typing queries, creating objects as a hands on practise..

My question: What is the approx score in the practise test one should be able to achieve to put onself in the comfort zone, before shooting for the exams ? Any preparation avenues i have missed ?...I guess the initial inertia is having its toll on me..or is called the exam fever ??

Any advise ? from the mentoring pundits ?? Thanks a lot !
