Today (1st March 2017) I will finally start my Oracle OCM 12c<\/strong>\u00a0study project. Almost 2 years after start studying for the OCM 11g and 1 year from becoming\u00a0an OCM 11g, I have\u00a0another big adventure and challenge in my life!<\/p>\n

My target is\u00a0to\u00a0take the exam by August\/2017<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE 1: I did it on August 14th in Reading, UK. Now I\u2019m waiting for the results! (More information in sections 6 and 7).
\n<\/strong><\/span> P.S: I made a separate post about my OCM 12c Trip that can be accessed here<\/a>.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE 2: After 29 very long days (almost like OCM 11g), the result finally came on September 12th and now I\u2019m officially and OCM 12c! (More information in section 8).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As I did with the OCM 11g, I will list here the topics and some study guides for each of them, so I can exchange with you who is also applying, interested or have any\u00a0skills. Please comment in the post related to each topic if you find out any more valuable information to add.<\/p>\n

Every\u00a0topic will have a link to a post where I will cover some test cases, what is needed to study and the link to the official Oracle Doc related. Remember, the Oracle Official Doc is all you will have on the day of the exam, so being fast and getting to the item in the DOC is a necessity.<\/p>\n

Note that here are listed \u00a0the topics for the OCM 12c FULL<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>exam (2 days) and\u00a0UPGRADE<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0exam (1 day). If you plan to take the OCM 12c FULL<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0exam (2 days), for the non-listed topics I recommend you to take a look in\u00a0my\u00a0OCM 11g Preparation<\/a>\u00a0page as some of them are very similar (and do not forget to check the new features for each).<\/p>\n
