Updated 12c OCP upgrade Self Test software has more questions

I guess I should have waited around a bit longer before taking my 12c OCP upgrade exam.  I purchased Kaplan’s Self Test software to prepare for the 12c OCP upgrade exam but it only included 50 questions and they only covered the first part of the OCP exam – the part I passed!

I noticed on the Self Test website that the test now includes 105 questions.  So, I got the bright idea of seeing if there was some way to refresh my software with an update and voilà! Now I have 105 questions and 128 flash cards.  Probably I should have waited for this practice software to mature before attempting the 12c OCP upgrade test.  One thing of particular interest to me is that it does include practice questions related to the second part of the exam which I failed.

So, hopefully I’ll be in good shape for the retest.  I am doing a lot of hacking around with different features but I need to figure out a more methodical way to study.  Still, having taken the test once I know some of the features that I need to study.  Combine that with the new questions on the Self Test software and that will get me closer.  Lastly, I pre-ordered Sam Alapati’s book on Amazon so that should put me over the top.  I was really only two questions away on my first attempt but I definitely should have waited and have done more thorough preparation.

    Hi, Bobby. Have you recieved that book? Can you recommend it for preparing to exam without visiting 12cNFA course in class?

      Thank you for your comment. I’ve received the book and all I’ve done is check to see whether it covers the second part of the 12c OCP upgrade exam. It doesn’t. So, the book is probably good preparation for the first part of the exam but you would have to look elsewhere to prepare for the second part.
