Was very happy to be certified as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2018 Certified Architect Associate. Below I want to share my own experience on:
- How to prepare for the certification exam (i.e. 1Z0-932)
- How to register
- Oracle has partnered with an external testing provider PearsonVue
- What to expect afterwards
How to Prepare
After working on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for the past four years, I have lots of hands-on experience with it. But, based on my previous certification experience with Oracle Database and Java, I know passing the certification exam is non-trivial.
After reviewing Exam Topics (see below), I have picked up my old practice of documenting what I read like before. Here are the list of them on this blogger:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Database
- Storage
- OCI―Knowing Object Storage Basics
- OCI―Knowing File Storage Service Basics
- OCI―Knowing Block Volume Service Basics
- Compute
- Network
Below topics may not be that important for the certification (but, they are in the good-to-know category):
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure―Container Engine for Kubernetes Basics
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure―OCI Key Management Basics
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure―OCI DNS Service Basics
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure―OCI Load Balancing Service Basics
Finally, all your final understanding of OCI should be based on the official
Important Whitepapers
- Duration: 105 mins
- I had almost run out of time. So, don't spend too much time on any specific question which you don't have confidence with.
- You can mark questions for later review.
- Number of Questions: 66
- Some of them will NOT be counted into your score.
- Half of the exam asks questions on how to provide solutions or troubleshoot issues given very detailed scenarios
- You need to put on thinking hat on the level of understanding similar to the above whitepapers, not just basic concepts.
- Passing Score: 65 %
How to Register
If you're ready to take your exam, schedule it now and pay directly with a credit card, or redeem a voucher you’ve purchased from Oracle. Either way, you'll schedule it through Oracle's external testing provider, PearsonVue.
If you're an Oracle Employee, you may also get a 30% discount voucher (internal link).
What to Expect After the Exam
Within 30 mins, you should be able to find out if you pass or fail the exam from CertView. If you pass the certification exam, you will also receive an email from Acclaim (note that you need to create a new account with it) like below:
