I study using my notebook and carrying a keyboard in my bag was not a solution.<\/p>\n<p>I resolve this gap putting the keyboard layout of my VM&#8217;s in the USA standard. So when I type any key I need to forget what is written and just pretend some other\u00a0symbol is there! You can put some stickers with letters in the keys to force you adapt with the exam KB layout.<\/p>\n<p>I heard some people saying that you can bring your own keyboard during the exam. After talking to some OCM proctors, they said this is not officially accepted. The keyboard is a hardware and is even\u00a0listed to them as an item banned during the exam. So you can try to bring yours, but be prepared to not be able to use it.<\/p>\n<br>\r\nClick here to go back to the <a title=\"OCM 11g Preparation\" href=\"\/?page_id=923\">Main OCM 11g Preparation<\/a> page.\r\n<br><br>\r\nHave you enjoyed?
