Enthuware tests and exam preparedness

[Lilou Laure]

1.

I have taken 7 standard tests on enthuware till now and no other mock exams other than that . I have an average score of 80-85 % . Can I give the final exam ? do i need to take up any other exams  ?
I have done only these 7 standard tests ! nothing else . I did not do the objective wise or practice tests . I will do the last day test two days before my final exam.

2.

This question is not related to my previous question .
I would also like to know, suppose a candidate takes up the objective tests on enthuware after every chapter studied in a book, based on the exam objectives. after the whole book, the standard tests are attempted by the candidate. will the same exact questions from the objective tests be present in the standard tests ? will there be anything apart from the ones covered in the objective tests ? and if this strategy of doing objective tests first is used, how should one evaluate their performance  in the standard tests to know where they stand and to check if they are ready for the final exam. because surely some questions will already be seen before itself.

is a new exam simulator needed in this case ?

Wow, you sound very well prepared for the exam. There are stories on this forum of people averaging 70% on the standard tests and getting more then 80% on the actual exam.
Here are a couple examples:

So, from the looks of it, you are going to do really well on the exam.

In regards to objective wise or standard or both?
I believe that this site may help answer your question:

enthuware.com web site wrote:Standard Tests and Objective-wise Tests are two different ways of accessing the same set of questions. You should use only one type of tests.

As a result, I think that if you wanted to do some more testing then you may have to try a different product out.

One thing you could do, is with the questions that you got wrong and if you are still struggling with them is as people on this site about them.
There are some people who are really well versed in Java who can probably explain the questions/answers in different ways to help you out.

I only know this about Ethuware because I was just on their site the other day looking for answers of my own.

Okay thanks I read through everything !

I want to clarify : before getting enthuware full version , I tried the trial version of 27 questions , and I failed miserably and even crossing the time limit.      I was not aware that I had to keep up speed and analyse the question from every angle. and hence the poor result . but after that I did a complete revision and then got the full version of the package and started off. This time I was in a better position in the standard test 1 to get the hang of it, from my trial version experience. so its like i had seen those 27 questions alone in prior !

So did I .

Hopefully when you did do the standard tests you only did the each test once.
If you did the same test more then once then you run into situations where you memorized the answers and this will not help you out when taking the exam.

I think that Enthuware has saved many people and the price was well worth it (at least to me).

As of this morning I've written the first two standard tests and the foundation test and my average is around 70. I plan on writing the next test in about three or four days.

I did the trial version questions once, and then after buying the full package,  I did each test only once !

With 80-85% on average on Enthuware mock exams you are definitely ready for the actual exam!

Best of luck!

how do i verify if my cert view is authenticated ?

i logged on to cert view and opened my exam results page. there was a table which was empty . it had columns like : exam name , grade indicator , etc.

so is my cert view authenticated ?

I'm hoping that you got something like this in an email when you scheduled your exam:

Appointment Confirmation for Oracle Certification Program wrote:If you have not already done so, authenticate your CertView account (link = http://certview.oracle.com/).
• CertView is Oracle Certification’s web-based portal for all your certification program activity.
• Your exam results will NOT be available at Pearson VUE - you must log onto CertView to see your exam results and print your score report.
First time CertView users
• Wait at least one hour after creating your Pearson VUE web account and then click here (link = https://education.oracle.com/certview.html) to proceed with your CertView account authentication.
• You will need:
  - an Oracle Web Account user name and password,
  - email address from your Pearson VUE profile (the email address where you have
    received this email), and
  - Oracle Testing ID from your Pearson VUE profile.
• You will be taken to CertView to log in once your account has been authenticated.

When I login see the something like the attached.
From there I can see my exam results, certifications and more.
Your experience may vary, but this is what I got.

I haven't scheduled my exam yet.

But I do get the screen that you have attached , when I open my cert view.

Then I suspect that you have done everything correctly.
Yet as proven time again, I'm not always correct either.
