Oracle Certification Program Fraudulent Activity Policy
Agreements
Prior to taking a certification exam, you will be required to accept the terms and conditions of the Oracle Certification Candidate Agreement. You will be presented with the agreement on screen before the test starts. You can also view this agreement prior to arriving at the testing center via the following link http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/canagreemt.html .
Minors gaining Oracle Certification
Minors may gain Oracle Certification by completing all certification requirements for the desired path. In addition, Oracle must have on file, a signed Minor Parent/Guardian Signature Page. More information is available in the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement.
Please note that Oracle only requires minors (candidates under 18 years of age) to submit the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement via fax.

Certification Ownership Policy
Individual candidates are certified when the prerequisite requirements are met. The certification is valid and associated with an individual, and not a specific company.
Scoring Policy
Oracle routinely publishes new versions of Oracle Certification exams, and the passing score across versions may differ. The passing score for each exam is set independently to maintain a consistent standard across versions. For example, to maintain a consistent standard for success, a new version of an exam, which contains more dificult questions than the prior version will be assigned a somewhat lower required passing score. For this reason, passing scores may vary between different exams in your certification track, and between later and earlier versions of the same exam.
The passing scores provided on the Oracle Certification Program website are for informational purposes only. Oracle does not recommend an exam preparation strategy targeting the passing score, because passing scores are subject to change without notice.
Scored and Unscored Questions Your exam may contain unscored questions in addition to the scored questions, so the total number of questions that are presented to you may be greater than the number shown above. This is standard testing practice. You will not know which questions are unscored. If your exam contains unscored questions, the time allowed for the exam takes into consideration the time you will need to answer all questions and review your work. Your exam results will reflect your performance on the scored questions only.”
