How to study for 1Z0-1121-24 - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2024 Certified Networking Professional

Hi everyone,

This is a brand-new exam and I decided to try it!

I set for the exam and when I was starting, my internet went down and I had to reschedule for the next day. On the first try, I failed, but I was to pass on the second try :)

This exam is the hardest and most elaborate exam that I have taken in the past few years, so be prepared :)

To start your learning, a good starting point is here:

Don't forget to read the topics:

https://education.oracle.com/oracle-cloud-infrastructure-2024-networking-professional-beta/pexam_1Z0-1121-24

The practice exam is good and you can have a good feel of what to expect during the exam.

1st attempt: Failed 

After failing and fighting to find the answer for some topics that I was not prepared enough, I contacted 

some friends who passed the exam and asked for some guidance on the documentation to study.

Later, I contacted Sergio Castro from Oracle University and he kindly shared some great links to prepare for the exam:
