Some tips…

  • There are totally 60 questions and you have 120 minutes — so you have 2 minutes for each question. So take your time to read the question carefully before choosing the answer and also review the each question once you completed all questions.
  • Pass percentage is 63% — so even though you give wrong answers to 22 questions, you still can pass the exam :) Hence don’t panic if you don’t know answers for few questions.
  • Read questions properly, sometimes they are tricky and you can often miss some minute details which will be a key point to find the correct answer.
  • Few topics to concentrate more are Migration & Data Loading into Autonomous Database, Provisioning & Connectivity and Managing & Maintaining Autonomous Database. You might comparatively get more questions on these topics.
  • If you take the exam from home, then you are video proctored. So strictly follow the PearsonVue guide for taking the exam.

Good that you read the whole article; hopefully it will be useful for you.
