The book contains the bare-bone outline of what you would need to pass the exam. It is surely not enough if you did not have any prior knowledge on the exam topics. The greatest disadvantage as with all other Mr. Morris' preparation guides is complete absence of control questions and tasks. The text is poorly edited, and large chunks of it are just excerpts from respective section of Oracle documentation, sometimes with slight re-wording, sometimes plain copies.On the positive side is that the job of Oracle docs compilation is done for you. It would be much better if the author included references, or at least Oracle document titles.The other positive feature is the book's brevity, but depending on your level and attitude it might be a deficiency as well.All in all what you paid is what you get - the main thing is to understand that this is preparation GUIDE, not the book covering 150% of information you need. For me it worked
Not as helpful as i thought it would be.. But anyway for 11$ its a good guide :) Got 85% for my exam.
If you're looking to pass the exam.. This is book is excellent as a study guide an as a pocket book to have everything you need. I made it last month and i passed
I purchased this book few months back, but attended the test only yesterday. My feedback about the book is that, this book alone is not sufficient to pass the exam. Because I got many questions that touched the more inner details of a topic, which this book did not cover. With a 160 odd pages book, this is what you can expect. The best way to prepare if you want to buy this book is, take each explanation from each topic and work them out yourself (as there are very few examples on each topic) and also please refer some other books like "Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Professional Guide by Saurabh K. Gupta" (this book has more details on each topic, but buying this book alone for the purpose of only passing the exam will mean you will take more time to complete your preparation, as this book has lots of content), that has more examples and details for each topic. Also please dont forget to refer Oracle documentation/Third party sites(given in the book) to get more details (like more options of a command, exceptions, etc).I almost made the mistake of relying on only this book, but was fortunate to stumble upon other books/resources in the web. I just scrapped through, got 73%.
