In this 2011, I feel like myself to take almost certification of what I know and what I'm using in my development space. Being programmer, I didn't say almost certificates are needed but just like non-computer science graduated like me, those certificate are very needed. Because almost people won't know why I'm surviving in IT without having computer science graduate. That's why I believe I'm not wrong to take certificate. 

When I was in Myanmar, we use Microsoft SQL as our database because which is simple and easy to use with their UI. When I started working in Singapore (2009), our company use Oracle as database system instead of Microsoft SQL. Since that time, I'm addictive at Oracle because of the way of writing stored procedure, functions and views. That's why I think I need to have at least one Oracle certificate to let people know that I know Oracle.

That's why I decided to take 1Z0-051 exam of Oracle. It's called SQL Fundamentals exam which is suitable for me to take as beginner state of Oracle developer. Below is the exam topic of 1Z0-051.

 

  1. Retrieving Data Using the SQL SELECT Statement
  2. Restricting and Sorting Data
  3. Using Single-Row Functions to Customize Output
  4. Using Conversion Functions and Conditional Expressions
  5. Reporting Aggregated Data Using the Group Functions
  6. Displaying Data from Multiple Tables
  7. Using Subqueries to Solve Queries
  8. Using the Set Operators
  9. Manipulating Data
  10. Using DDL Statements to Create and Manage Tables
  11. Creating Other Schema Objects
 
Above topics, I know how to retrieve, insert and update data in SQL and almost built-in functions (I've posted what I know in here.). That's why I think I need tutorials and exam preparation kits like uCertify. Since I got CF9 exam kit, I'm one of the fans of them and need to try 1Z0-051 exam toolkits. Fortunately, they have 1Z0-051 exam toolkits and cost 114.99 USD only which is cheaper than CF9.

Like my review on CF9 exam kits of uCertify, this exam toolkit for Oracle is not only exam preparation but also I can use it for learning which I doesn't know about Oracle. Because they've categorized in Study Helper and explained all needed informations of this exam as follow.

 

After finished learning from Study Helper, you can test how much you got and how much you know in Learn & Practice section. In this section, it has so many questions to help you to improve your Oracle skill and pass Oracle exam. And you can create your own custom test and fix the timer of each questions. This customize timer feature is very useful If you get enough knownledge of Oracle 1Z0-051.

  1. Diagnostics test - 15 questions
  2. Practice test A -  70 questions
  3. Practice test B -  70 questions
  4. Practice test C -  70 questions
  5. Final test - 53 questions
  6. Interactive quiz -  145 questions

You have at least 400 questions in this toolkits and try as much as you can before taking real exam. I bet, it can estimately cover 80% questions of Oracle real exam and can help you to pass 1Z0-051 exam if you're well-prepared with this exam kit and have enough working experience in Oracle.
