Oracle Certification Program Guidelines

Agreements

Prior to taking a certification exam, you will be required to accept the terms and conditions of the Oracle Certification Candidate Agreement. You will be presented with the agreement on screen before the test starts. You can also view this agreement prior to arriving at the testing center via the following link http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/canagreemt.html

Minors gaining Oracle Certification
Minors may gain Oracle Certification by completing all certification requirements for the desired path. In addition, Oracle must have on file, a signed Minor Parent/Guardian Signature Page. More information is available in the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement.

Please note that Oracle only requires minors (candidates under 18 years of age) to submit the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement via fax.

Policies


Retake Policy
    Candidates must wait 14 days before retaking a failed exam.

    Candidates may retake an online non-proctored exam at any time.

    Candidates may not retake a passed exam at any time.

    Candidates may not retake a beta exam at any time.
The retake policy was put in place to protect the integrity of the Oracle Certification Program exam content and allow the candidate additional time to prepare for a failed exam. Please note that violation of the retake policy in any way, including but not limited to, registering for and retaking an exam under a new Oracle Testing ID within the 14-day waiting period, is against policy and will be treated as a violation of the Exam Retake Policy. If a candidate creates a new ID in order to retake the exam within the 14-day waiting period, the results of the retaken exam will be invalidated. No refunds or credit will be provided by Oracle or any of its partners.

Failure to adhere to this policy is a direct violation the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement that you agreed to at the time you took the exam and could result in the additional actions such as (but not limited to) revocation of credentials that you hold or being banned form the Oracle Certification Program or barred from taking future Oracle exams.
Exam Retirement Policy

Oracle Certification Program normally provides 90 days notice for the retirement of any certification exam. We post announcements on the Certification Web site. We also notify exam candidates by email, so please be sure that you always have your most current contact information on file in your Oracle Profile and ensure that you have selected to receive communications from the Oracle Certification Program

Certification Ownership Policy

Individual candidates are certified when the prerequisite requirements are met. The certification is valid and associated with an individual, and not a specific company.

Scoring Policy

OCP Exam Passing ScoresOracle routinely publishes new versions of Oracle Certification exams, and the passing score across versions may differ. The passing score for each exam is set independently to maintain a consistent standard across versions. For example, to maintain a consistent standard for success, a new version of an exam, which contains more dificult questions than the prior version will be assigned a somewhat lower required passing score. For this reason, passing scores may vary between different exams in your certification track, and between later and earlier versions of the same exam.

The passing scores provided on the Oracle Certification Program website are for informational purposes only. Oracle does not recommend an exam preparation strategy targeting the passing score, because passing scores are subject to change without notice.

Scored and Unscored Questions Your exam may contain unscored questions in addition to the scored questions, so the total number of questions that are presented to you may be greater than the number shown above. This is standard testing practice. You will not know which questions are unscored. If your exam contains unscored questions, the time allowed for the exam takes into consideration the time you will need to answer all questions and review your work. Your exam results will reflect your performance on the scored questions only.
