I would focus hard on the upgrade exam. They are looking for very specific information which you would find a description of at: http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/objectives/index.html?30.html. You will lose focus if you try to go through the entire curriculum. For $79 you can get a 30 day access to the Self-Test Software Oracle 8i to 9i upgrade exam and get exactly what you need. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Paula_Stankus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:35 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Help - certification kits Guys, Seems like a good deal but I am already 8i certified so would the 9i upgrade exam be a different exam or could I go through the 9i curricul. as below and still take the upgrade exam with flying colors???
