Being involved in web development for a long time I've decided to move to software development. Being in the process of it, I faced the reality that big companies motivate their employees to pass the Oracle certification exam. For those who decide to grow in software development this is a very important step in your career.

Oracle certification benifits:

  1. Improves and updates your Java language knowledges
  2. Gives yous better job opportunities
  3. Fast and more reliable promotion in your company
  4. Colleagues and managers' recognition

Oracle claims that this document is recognized as International and has no time expiration. During this exam you will have to answer 70 questions in 150 minutes nether video supervision with no breaks. All the same, it'south pretty challenging to accomplish simply possible to achieve.

Some of my colleagues have asked me almost this exam and I want to share some helpful tips on how to prepare and pass the examination from my own experience.

  1. Choose adept resources. I used the following materials OCA Java SE viii Developer I Certification Guide past Mala Gupta and OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Coffee SE 8 Developer I Study Guide: Examination 1Z0-808 1st Edition by Jeanne Boyarsky, Scott Selikoff.
  2. Studying the material endeavour to sympathise how things work, don't just remember the rules. Try to imagine what will be the event and code behavior if you lot modify something in your code.
  3. Our retention is catchy and you will meet tricky questions likewise. Meeting whatever similar parts of lawmaking will brand yous retrieve y'all know the respond. But it'south plenty to brand a tiny change and the result will be completely dissimilar. Hither you accept to be very precise. It's like fulfilling 10 Bible commandments - don't add or remove from these rules and there you volition be successful. This is why it's very of import to sympathize code behavior and not just retrieve visual components.
  4. Use exam simulators. I bought this one at udemy.com and enthuware.com which are very similar to existent examination application. Y'all can download gratis IT test questions from https://www.certbolt.com (reff link). The best part of these applications is that each question is explained why information technology'southward correct and what would exist the wrong concept.
  5. Do Not use IDE during the preparation process. IDE is a great tool for lawmaking writing. However, yous need to acquire how to write lawmaking correctly without autocompletion, highlighting errors and other tips. You need to learn compilation commands in Terminal and without using IDE.
  6. Failing a simulator exam you will exist tempted to starting time the other examination at in one case. Practice non exercise this. Open the books and report the topics you lot've answered incorrectly and discover your knowledge gaps.
  7. Facing a difficult question during exam practice not spent time on information technology if you don't know the respond. The best option is to mark this question for «Review» and render after you answer the other questions if you have enough time.
  8. Play with code. Change, add together and remove code to understand how your application works and what could exist done improve.
  9. Failing to some questions you lot volition think you lot were right and the assignment was wrong. Sympathize that all questions were accurately tested before beingness included into exam and you faced tricky questions - be at-home - that's very precious.
  10. Start each question with your own simple set up of rules: check if the primary method has a right signature, if loops take increase and checking conditions.

I wish all the best and may God help you to laissez passer this test,
