The Beta's are more grueling, in my opinion.... they are longer and then you have to WAIT to see if you passed or not, rather than finding out on the spot. Still, they are cheaper....

Have you got your result so fast? Yes, I am talking about new stuff on Oracle or any other site. Right now I am studying Mike Ault and Robert Freeman book besides some paper from oracle site by Arup Nanda. I will take it sometime in July, 2004. This is first time for me to appear in a Beta test so curious...

I'm sure I failed it, but that's not why I did it anyway. :) Not sure what you mean by new material. If you mean in the way of exam crams or similar, it's too early for those to be published yet. If you mean in the way of new material in the exam, then obviously there is and you can find out as much as anyone can tell you by going to Oracle's certification web site.
