Passing Oracle 1z0-071 exam (SQL)
I am actually feeling so frustrated. I am a data analyst and it is my first time with SQL. I decided last year August to study it and take this exam. I was so confident so I also immediately bought an exam attempt. Thought i could be ready in 3 months...then it become 5...and now nearing 6 months. I have gone through the materials several times and lately been taking dumps but highest i got was just 58%. Questions were sooo tricky and one would need to memorize almost everything. Since my exam atrempt will expire next month, i surrender and will just take it anyway. Has the real exam changed so that at least takers could have higher chances of passing? Lol
Will I have to pay for an industry certification exam?
What are certification prep paths?
How do I receive my industry certification?
Hey guys, so first, some background:
Basically I've been trying to get into data analytics for the past two years. Been studying and applying with no success. Have a portfolio of SQL, Power BI and Python projects. I have a degree in business and have worked as a teacher.
Now: I'm not sure how I came across this, but I started checking out SQL certs and this exam (in the title, good lord typing/remembering it is a pain) came up as being pretty respected. Is this overkill for a data analyst?
I have intermediate level SQL knoedge and practice stratascratch daily. I'm 60% through a Udemy course to prep for the oracle exam and it's pretty easy.
I'm happy to continue studying and must say oracle Apex is the best looking gui I've seen for SQL.
Should I go for the exam? What seems crazy to me is the cert is only valid for 18 months for the price of $250.
Any thoughts more than welcome. Would this open doors to possibly better paying data jobs too?
Thanks,
A desperate to get into data dude.
