I wrote two OCM exams back to back because I wanted to write 2-days OCM 12C exam but there was no schedule in India for 2-days OCM 12C exam, So first, I wrote 2-days OCM 11G on 9th & 10th April and then I wrote an exam of OCM 12C Upgrade on 23rd April in India, After 18 long days, the result was out. Now officially I’ve successfully passed 12C OCM, Oracle Database 12c Certified Master. It was almost more than 15 months that I’ve been preparing for this exam but actual preparation started almost 6 years back when I started my DBA career.
