Exam Information Passing Scores 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 difficult questions than the prior version, will be assigned a somewhat lower passing score. For this reason, passing scores may vary between different exams in your certification track, and between 2 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.
