best book to pass the oca 10g exam
i found this book easier to read and understand compared to sybex's book, and the many-but-short chapters works better for me. i buy this book together with sybex's book and have passed the oca exam with 87% score (less than what i expected though). if you could only choose one book to pass the 1Z0-042 exam then this is definitely the best choice. but don't forget to practise what you read (although the book makes it looks so simple), you'll remember more by trying each exercise in this book.

Good OCP Preparation
It is well structured and important points for the exam are specially highlighted. I used this book to (sucessfully) prepare for the OCA exam. This makes the content memorable and easy to learn.

The review questions are pretty good. I recommend getting the question set of www. selftestsoftware. com, too. They are not exactly like in the exam (like TestKing) but representative.

I used this book and the SYBEX OCA preparation (OCA: Oracle 10g Administration I Study Guide (1Z0-042) by Chip Dawes) and found this one clearly superior.

Still, it is not perfect: There was some exam-relevant details missing, e. g. for data pump. So check with the selftest questions and get the missing information from the Oracle manuals on the net.

Best Book for Exam Preparation
com to supply book, which is really good for exam preparation
