Oracle 1Z0-908 Study Plan (30 / 60 / 90 Days)
Most candidates pass 1Z0‑908 with 70–140 focused hours (faster if you already run MySQL in production).
| Your time | Recommended timeline |
|---|
| 18–22 hrs/week | 30 days (intensive) |
| 10–14 hrs/week | 60 days (balanced) |
| 6–9 hrs/week | 90 days (part‑time) |
How to use this plan
- Use the Syllabus as your checklist.
- Build a small lab (local containers are fine): practice user/role setup, backups/restores, and replication.
- Keep a “runbook log”: restore steps, replication failover steps, and the commands you always forget.
