Hi!
I passed the Oracle 1Z0-808 Exam with a 77%. I was so relieved when I got the congratulations email because I knew I did well on the
test.

So here's my story:
I started studying in June after I graduated high school last summer with the J&S book. I studied and was planning to take the test in August before I leave for college. But, since I had 20 hours of swimming, working at a robot camp, and coaching a summer swim team, I had limited time. I finished the J&S book by mid July and took all the practice questions in it. I took the first 2 practice tests in Enthuware and got low 40s on each. So I decided to postpone the test because I wasn't ready.
So, I get to college, Virginia Tech in my case, in August and I'm thinking that I can take the test during Thanksgiving break and just study some of the materials during my first semester. I was wrong. Being on the varsity swim team while taking all these core classes in engineering took up most of my time. Note: to be a computer science major, you need to take the core classes as an engineering major the first year. Then you can be declared as a CS major, which I want to be. So I decided to take the test at the end of my winter break since we have a month off and I promised myself this would be the last time I would postpone the test.
After my last final exam of my first semester at VT, I immediately started planning my month-long winter break to pass this test. I forgot some materials but I could recall most of it. I went through the book again in 1.5 weeks and just kept taking the Enthuware exams.
Here were my results:
Foundation: 47
Test 1: 55
Test 2: 52
Test 3: 57
Test 4: 61
Test 5: 49
Skipped test 6 because of time constraint
Last Day Test: 69
I decided to skip test 6 and take the unique test because I wanted to go over the wrong questions more carefully before I took the exam.
I did all of this in 1 month while maintaining my grueling swim schedule of 20 hours a week and with a team training trip in Florida for a week (hell week).
I was pretty confident going into the test because based on what I heard, the Enthuware tests were harder. During the test, I just calmly answered each questions and time was never a problem for my. I finished in less than 2 hours walking out of the test center with pride.
Thank you!!

Now it's time to relax a bit and have a (well-deserved) 
(or 2 or 3). And if you want to spoil yourself have a Belgian beer, our beers are the best of the world
