Planning - What will I ask?, All certification exams have their list of goals, get the exam you'll do. You need to know that you're going to ask. Print the list of objectives and is checking your progress.
- Set a target date "I want to register in X months." Plan study time and assign them a reasonable time study depending on your activities. For example if the exam has 8 tracks, could the goal of study 1 issue per week, 2 hours daily. Make your adjustments, perhaps after 1 week you realize you need to reorganize your time. Agenda
- your review, almost all tests are applied by authorized certification centers www. Prometric . Com or www. Parsonvue . Com , contact the testing center in your area, check the cost, register and schedule a convenient time. When you register the centers give you a Candidate Id, retains this number because you will need to manage your information: To update your personal information, update the address for delivery of the certificate or to reschedule your exam if planned that the day can not.
- Find a place to study. If you study early, arrives an hour before work, at the end of working hours is not recommended because there are always pending. You can go to a Starbucks if you like the noise or a public library if you like silence. If you live in Mexico City and transit travel can print the study topics and make the trip.
- Explore the Web necessary study materials: guides, pages, mock exams (practice exams). Annex later study resource links. Find a
- study group on the Internet or create a small group in the company can meet to examine several members of the company. You can browse the network for something like: "Oracle Certification Group"
- Test yourself - now you're ready, you can take practice tests or use a simulator, you get more than 80% to assume that you will be fine on the test. You must answer questions in minutes, in a typical review might have 60 questions and 2 hours to solve it, so you have to solve 1 question every 2 minutes, the test challenges your knowledge and time management. English
- - Almost all tests are in English, you can read English with no technical problems, would be disastrous not respond to a question of not knowing the difference between Shall, Should, Must, Might, Could.
On test day - Rest well the day before
- If you can schedule your exam in the morning, you arrive fresh and not walking at work thinking of something else.
- Arrive on time, at least 30 minutes early, always arriving with the first review
- nerves usually not let you pass the exam with phones, pens, USB sticks, notebooks, so not to overload leads only your identification.
During consideration - not leave unanswered questions even with questions, solve all the tests allow you to mark questions for review at the end. Maybe later you remember and come back to resolve it.
- How long must solve each question?, If you notice that a question and I'll take 3min and the time limit was 2.5min, choose an option, mark it for review and continuing to the next. If you have time at the end you will return to resolve it but it do not stop to solve the other.
- always give you a small board to make your notes, use it.
- Do not get distracted and turn around to see the other candidates who are doing the review, most centers have a camera watching you and if you detect cheating distracted or you fail the exam and the opportunity to make any certification of that product.
At the conclusion - Congratulations! Your certificate will arrive between 2 and 4 weeks.
- Otherwise do not worry, it feels bad, but you recover. Manufacturers let you test the test file again after 2 or 3 weeks.
