Looking back to 2006, after my long vacation from work, I planned myself to focus on certification. I want to certify my skills and make me more marketable globally. I don’t have anything to look for in my company – Accenture. I want that when I get back to work I can bring a significant qualify of work to my project.
I started to prepare for my very first certification exam which is 1Z0-007 – Introduction to SQL. I’m very happy to passed this exam with 90.4% score. I’m planning to take my next step to earn Oracle Certified Associate by taking PL/SQL exam but a new Oracle certification got my attention. It’s about the Oracle Certified Expert.
As a software designer and developer, Oracle Certified Expert’s Oracle Database SQL Expert looks appealing to me. I only need to take one exam and I’ll earn an Oracle Certification. Other Oracle guys like Lauren Schneider, Jaffar and Jochen Van de Voorde participated in the beta exam.
I have started my preparation around August since the original end date of the beta exam is September 15, 2006. I took a week of vacation for the whole week of September 12, 2006. Unfortunately, last Friday, my project is on Assembly Test period and logged a couple of defects. I need to work on weekends which makes my time to review shorter. I fixed some defects during till Sunday evening.
Monday morning, I have 2 days left to prepare. I crammed to prepare and took my exam last September 12, 2006. A day before the last day of beta exam, Oracle extended the beta exam till October 15, 2007. With the new date I’m hoping that I will get the results on December 24, 2007 which is the end of the 10-week period after the last day of beta exam. But there is no results that were release, till January 14, 2008 when I check my account in the Prometric website.
There is no scores yet. I’m still waiting for the official notification. Not sure if it’s from Oracle or from Prometric. Now I’m one of the very first Oracle Certified Expert – Oracle Database SQL Expert. Did you passed the Oracle Database SQL Expert exam? Come and post your scores here.

Sorry for misunderstanding but does the picture on this page mean that you passed the beta exam?
Or does it mean you have taken the exam?
Yes. You’re right. I have taken the beta exam and I passed it. Please see this link which I discussed the beta exam itself. http://www.devstandards.net/oracle/participating-in-oracle-certified-database-sql-expert-beta-exam.html
