If you understand everything going on in this book, and just practice a exam cram, you will pass the test. For each section, I took the test, went through the unit in the book, took the test again. PROM is the actual test administered by Prometric. After I finished the Tuning section I was still not confident, so I got the Exam Cram book. I can recommend the other units, though.
Tutorial style is helpful.
It's a book to overview oracle, but not for exam Good book as a guidline to overview oracle, but not even close to pass the exam. Not enough to pass OCP exams. Practice questions are not any closer to actual exam questions except form-I exam. The book title is just perfect If you are a developer with some good hands on experience using the oracle products,This book would provide you with the required practice to get you through with all the exams. I am not sure if this book would be useful to some one new to oracle.
