Oracle 1Z0-033 Exam: Frequently Asked Questions
The Oracle9i Database:Performance Tuning exam is the official Oracle test registered under exam code 1Z0-033. Passing it earns you the Oracle9i Certified Professional (OCP) DBA certification, a credential at the Professional level.

Oracle exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Oracle9i Database:Performance Tuning exam includes 65 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the Oracle9i Database:Performance Tuning exam you need 70% (46 out of 65), and the official registration fee is $125 USD. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $125 USD again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
