I am planning to take weblogic certified administrator 8.1. I have already browsed weblogic website and couldn't find any mock exams . My clarifications are 1.are there any mock exams available? 2.Is there any book suggested as a part of preparation for this exam? 3.Anyone who has cleared this exam can help me on this? 4.Are there any site or curriculum who train on this.
I am blur.Please help me.
This is my first certification exam and please help and guide me through.
I am also looking for some mock test.I hope mock test for weblogic 7.0 can also make us comfortable since there is not much difference between 7.0 and 8.1
I have just passed the BEA 8.1 Certified Administrator: System Administration exam. BEA Systems 0B0-104. My score is the passing score plus ten percent. I studied the lecture and lab manuals from the BEA Educational services course WLS-A11(BEA WebLogic Server Administration 8.1) Also all the stuffs in the system administration section on the dev2dev WebLogic Server > e-docs WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 Documentation website(except the topics that are not in the exam objective) There is no mock exams nor any specific study materials designed for this exam whatsoever anywhere at all(online and offline). only resources BEA is offering are http://certification.bea.com/certification/admin_certification_reqs.jsp
Also Does Anyone know how to request a physical Certificate from BEA? thanks

Thanks Billy Tsai for your details. They would be definitely helpful. Then regarding your physical certificate please read through the below link to obtain certification. http://certification.bea.com/certification/index.jsp.
This link should give you all the details.
Further my questions are 1. I have attended the training A11. Is that enough to read the lectures and also should i practice the lab manuals.
2.How was the questions in general?
3. Should i voraceiously read the documentation on their docs site too.
Please guide me. This exam is pretty important for me which will decide my carrier further.
The lecture and lab manauls are real physical manauls and we weren't given an electronic format of them. And those manauls are definitely not enough and insufficent for the preparation of the exam, they dont cover the some topics in detail so the only way is to study all the documents on BEA's dev2dev website. Even if u studied the online documents hard out u r going to find some questions in the exam u can't answer because those weren't covered on any documents, i guess only real world WebLogic experience can help at that time.
Thanks Billy again. My objective is to just get through the examination. I had already taken up the training on weblogic admin i have the manuals with which i read.
In addition can you let me know what are the topics that you exclusively covered. How long was your preparation time. Will three weeks be sufficient cos i am planning to take the exam end of nov and i had never had a profile of administrator. Please council me.
In addition can you let me know your email id i wish to discuss with you in detail. Hope you don't mind.
Hope you were busy with your own stuff,can you please let me know how long was your preparation and what were the topics exclusively covered by you
Those info from you will be really really helpful,please guide me. I have finished up the lecture and now i am planning to read the docs in the web site with the plan to take up the exam on Nov 29th.
it took me 2months to prepare(parttime), I study at night after work mainly on the training manuals then spent 1 full week studying the e-doc on dev2dev, I red through all the topics and covered clustering, CLI, JMS,security and all the easy minor topics exclusively
Congadulations for that great score!!!.. Can you share your experience on the exams please? how was the exam? how was your preparation? was lack of any mock exams felt while writing the exams? what materials did you use?
The questions that you in the sample were more less same as you face the exam.
They have concentrated on the basics 50% and scenario based questions were 50%. Please concentrate on the manuals and edocs and they are more than enough.
Then don't have focus much on the attributes (they are so many too) There are some italic words in the manual which should be given importance.
The main areas of focus are Domain,Clustering,JMS,Performance tuning and Security. I prepared for one month plus and with nearly 10 days on full time.
Can you please point out some links for Security ? Secondly i have not attended any formal training of Weblogic Administration.I do not have access to manuals. Can you help me so that i do not miss this manual part ?
Is it possible at all to request a physical certificate posted to my place from BEA in addition to the electionic PDF certificate emailed to me? does anyone know?
The reason I am asking is becuase I need the certificate for some sort governmental application, job application and University application [ December 20, 2004: Message edited by: Billy Tsai ]
The manuals are really helpful and they have most of the questions. But since you don't have manuals it is ok.Please read through the edocs
Concentrate mainly on Clustering(EJB) Domains and Node manager , Booting files (They have many questions in them) Again i am telling don't concentrate on the attributes.
For security let me think and get back to you.
Tesai
I am also in the process of looking for a physical certificate i would find and then get back to you.
YES I emailed BEA Education service say I need a physical hard copy of the certificate for the purpose of government job application and they posted one certificate with the congratulation letter to me [ March 22, 2005: Message edited by: Billy Tsai ]
I�m studying to get the certification in Weblogic 8.1 System Administrator. There isn�t simulators for that exam. Then, I�m studying using Whizlabs bea for Weblogic 7.0 But, I notice that many question are about ejb, like specifics tag used in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml I would like to know if in the new certification, the focus continues stronger in ejb?
you will not get the hard copy of the certificate only the electronic PDF version of the certificate is available. I got mine through special channel in BEA Education service
Where did you purchase 0B0-104 voucher from ? Prometric says you have to buy minimum of 3 vouchers ? Where to buy a singl e voucher ? Does BEA sells them ?
just pay Prometric with credit card when you r booking for the exam either online or by the phone to CSR, there is no specific book for this exam for all the information read all the posts made above
How much are the below links helpful or sufficient in craking the paper,are there some other docs that u studied other then these links...moreover if i am starting from scrap how much time will i devote in order to get a score as 92 % like u i mean are 2 months enough...plz once again throw some insight on ur personal exp of exam preparation...thanks in advance....
I have gone through these links , they are reliable. I am also planning to take Admin Certification , I hope 30 to 35 days are enough to cover all these concepts. Please share u r idea.
I am preparing for WebLogic Server 8.1 System Adminstration and i need your help. Can someone who has cleared the exam tell me as of whether the edocs are sufficient for the exam or not.
Today i have cleared Bea Weblogic Server 8.1 System Adminstration Exam with Score of 96%.
Here is my experience:- 1) The emphasis was on Clustering that is Web Clustering and EJB Clustering. 2) Out of 54 Questions 2 questions were on Drag and Drop. 3) All questions were Scenario based so it needs clear understanding of Fundamentals(Hands on EJB Clustering will definately prove to be a biggest advantage.) 4) Some questions were very simple and fundamental like relating Heuristic Transactions with their definations and all. 5) Last but not the least i spent nearly 5 weeks to prepare for the exam.
Thanks for all guidance that i gained from the earlier posts in this Topic.
Thanks!!! Ravi Sharma MCP, CCNA, BEA CERTIFIED WEBLOGIC SERVER 8.1 SYSTEM ADMINISRATOR
hi all
I am also planning to do the welblogic admin certification. I just want to know like it is mandatory to attend classes in an institute or we can manage by studyin by own. I am working as java developer right now, working on java/j2ee technologies. Want to shift to admin side. Can you please guide me
it is not required for you to attend the official Oracle/BEA weblogic training to be able to obtain the certification, as long as you have the right study materials you can manage this certification on your own.
