I'm an experienced Oracle DBA but never spent too much time thinking and getting prepared for certification. Since getting certified became a personal priority for 2015, I bought this set of books to study the specifics and get my certification. I was surprised with the way the learning is being conducted by the author. First, the author takes you to a self assessment test to see at what level you are and be able to focus on subjects you don't have a clear understanding. I took the self assessment test and was confident I would know all the answers but was surprised to get only 50% of them correct.So far the books are helping me to better understand what is asked in certification exams and I'm learning a lot.
This book explains most topics in detail, the author is a very good technical writerCompared to the one from Oracle Press, this one is much better.But some topic just mentioned very briefly, this cause my exam to fail.At first, I thought this book is bad, so I bought 'Oracle Press' one, that one may cover all the topics,but the author is not a good technical writer as Thomas, and the topics are not in very detail, just a guideline
Nice Book and detail about the exam
