How to study for 1Z0-1093-21 - Oracle Cloud Database Services 2021 Specialist

Hi all,

I decided to take all the 2021 OCI exams to check what changed and guide people in the process of taking these certifications.

Well, not all the exams. I will do only the ones that I did in 2019/2020 and are the things that I work on a day-to-day basis. 🙂

This exam is completely new and harder than 1z0-998-20/1z0-1044-20!

A good start point is here:

https://learn.oracle.com/ols/learning-path/become-an-oracle-cloud-database-services-specialist/35644/91401

I recommend you to have a free account and test everything you can, especially NoSQL and MYSQL (much more focus on the 2021 version).

Exam Preparation:

And last but not least, stay away from Brain Dumps!

Best of luck
