Types Of Exams
Proctored/Non-Proctored Exams — Most of Oracle Certification’s exams are considered high-stakes exams and are therefore only delivered with a proctor through Pearson VUE testing centers and some Oracle University training locations. Oracle also offers several exams online without a proctor. These exams provide 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 — Oracle also occasionally offers beta exams, which are preproduction exams used by Oracle to evaluate new exam questions with the participation of a live audience.
Oracle Database OCM Exams — Oracle Certified Master (OCM) exams for Oracle Database are conducted at designated Oracle University facilities in each global region. Visit the Oracle Certification website to learn more and register for OCM exams.
