Oracle Testing and Registration

Exam information

  • All Oracle exams are either proctored or non-proctored:
    • Proctored exams are considered high-stakes exams and are therefore only delivered with a proctor. These exams are offered at Pearson VUE testing centers and some Oracle University training locations.
    • Non-proctored exams are available online without a proctor. These exams are thus a more accessible way to get started on a certification path. Non-proctored exams do not require preregistration or an appointment and are available on-demand 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Beta exams are preproduction exams used by Oracle to evaluate new exam questions with the participation of a live audience.
