The Oracle Database 11g Security Essentials exam is the official Oracle test registered under exam code 1Z0-528. Passing it earns you the Oracle Database certification, a credential at the Professional level. It is also linked to the related certifications: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional, Oracle Database Security Certified Expert. Oracle exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.

The Oracle Database 11g Security Essentials exam includes Approximately 70 questions to be completed within 120 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 Oracle Database 11g Security Essentials exam you need Approximately 60% (varies by exam version), and the official registration fee is USD 245 (varies by country/region). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 245 (varies by country/region) 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.
