Oracle Certified Master 11g

¿Qué hace aquí esta página? Durante mi preparación de la certificación de Oracle OCM 11g he realizado numerosas pruebas y ejercicios basados en los contenidos que entran en el examen. Podéis ver en esta entrada del blog podéis ver un resumen general de cómo ha sido mi preparación para poder aprobar.

Aquí tenéis la lista completa de objetivos que un candidato debe conocer «al dedillo» antes de presentarse al examen. Dentro de cada uno, hay una serie de ejercicios. Como os imaginaréis, estos ejercicios NO están sacados del examen. Son prácticas que realicé ANTES de obtener la certificación. Muchas de éstas están sacadas de la documentación de oficial de Oracle, sin duda, una de las mejores fuentes para aprender.

Estas prácticas no son suficientes para aprobar. Uno de los factores más importantes es la experiencia, ya que en el examen tienes un tiempo limitado y cuánto más experiencia de «batalla» tengas, mejor. Si tienes cualquier duda o sugerencia puedes contactar conmigo a través del correo raul (arroba) dbajunior (punto) com.
