Hi guys,

This is purely for information:

I am really disappointed because it's been about 8 weeks since I completed my essay exam and submitted my completed project, and Oracle/Sun still haven't received my essay exam from Prometric.

Anyway, enjoy the soccer,
Pieter

Champion, I know this is very frustrating... but be a little bit more patient. All you can do now is send emails to them. Your assignment was uploaded and the essay exam was taken, so you did your part. It shouldn't take longer... you'll have a good news pretty soon, champ! No need to worry!

How about South Africa in the world cup, champ? Do you think there's still hope or...?

Hi Pieter,


I am just curious, Did you ever get an Auto Reply email from Sun-Oracle acknowledging they received your submission jar?

Did you include your Prometric ID in the email and in the submission.jar?

The Prometric ID you used in your submission jar must be the same when you took the Essay exam.

I would email them or call Oracle everyday until you get a satisfactory answer.

They said in the Autoreply I got it would take 4-6 weeks to grade my assignment.

In my case that is July 6th 2010. We'll see if they deliver on time.


Good Luck,


Carlos.

Hi Pieter,

Sorry to dissapoint you but it has been around 9 months, and Sun/Oracle have done nothing with my assignment. It may take a few more months

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for only replying now!

Carlos,
- yes they did send me a reply acknowledging that they received my jar.
- I did include my Prometric ID in the email I've sent with the JAR file, and I even renamed my JAR file to "sr-my-id.jar".
- The Prometric ID is the same, I have even emailed them a scan of the page they gave me at the Prometric test center.

I have used this email address for the submission of the JAR file: [email protected].

The problem was that they did not receive my essay exam from Prometric.

I am emailing them once a week on: [email protected] and [email protected].

Do you guys track the marking process via: http://www.certmanager.net/sun

Oliver, all the best to you too!

Thanks and speak to you all soon.
Pieter

Hi Pieter,

The result for my assignment has also been delayed too. I submitted and sat for the exam on 4th May. Still no news until today.

I am a bit disappointed but at the same time nervous.

One possible solution and alternative to the delays when Sun-Oracle have not received
your SCJD Essay Exam results from Prometric is to call Prometric directly.

When I took my Essay Exam on May 20th 2010 in Clark, New Jersey here in the US at the end
Prometric gave me a stamped report. I'd think you can contact Prometric customer support.
You can scan the report they gave you and send it as a PDF file attachment to Sun-Oracle and
Prometric by email.

I think the other aspect of the Sun acquisition by Oracle just in case you are not aware is that
Oracle before the acquisition uses a different company to keep track of certifications http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/
and Sun uses Prometric http://prometric.com/Sun/default.htm. I know this because I am OCA.

Not to justify it, but I think Oracle after the Sun acquisition should be doing a better job
handling this transition and the management of the certifications because we are paying big bucks.
Here in the US I've paid 375 US$ for downloading the assignment + 300 US$ for the Essay exam a total of 675 US$.

I still have 2 more weeks to wait to see if they give me the grade on time.


HTH,


Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the reply and info!

I actually received an email stating that they've passed my assignment on for grading, so I am sure they must've found my essay exam.

Good luck to you too!

Ps: Sorry Roberto, I forgot completely to answer you on the soccer. I actually enjoyed the last game of South Africa, but personally I support both Portugal and Brazil, so I have a problem - both are playing on the 25th :-)

Enjoy the weekend,
Pieter
