ExploreAbout this exam
The Oracle 1Z0-076 exam is listed by Oracle University under the title "Oracle Database 19c Administration." It is intended for database administrators and technical staff who work with Oracle Database 19c and want a structured, vendor-branded way to demonstrate administration knowledge. This page is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Oracle; all exam logistics should be confirmed with Oracle University directly.
A serious caveat applies to every logistical detail. On 2026-11-07 the official Oracle University exam page returned HTTP 403 and displayed only a site-maintenance notice, so no question count, time limit, passing score, fee, format, retake policy, validity period, or content-domain weighting could be verified. Those fields are therefore recorded as unknown rather than estimated, and the single placeholder domain on this page should not be read as an official blueprint. Candidates should treat any figure they see elsewhere as unverified until Oracle's own page is reachable.
Preparation should center on hands-on administration of a 19c database: instance and storage management, user and privilege security, backup and recovery with RMAN, multitenant container and pluggable database operations, performance monitoring, and routine maintenance tasks. Because the official objectives could not be retrieved, build your study plan from Oracle's own 19c documentation and instructor-led or on-demand Oracle University courses, and check the official exam page before booking to confirm scope and logistics.
What you'll study
About Oracle 1Z0-076 preparation
Is this page officially connected to Oracle or Oracle University?
No. This is an independent study resource with no affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship from Oracle. Oracle University is the only authoritative source for exam registration, objectives, pricing, and policy, and its published materials should always take precedence over anything written here.
How many questions are on the exam and how long do I get?
Those values could not be verified. The official Oracle University page for 1Z0-076 returned an HTTP 403 error and showed only a maintenance notice when checked on 2026-11-07. Rather than publish an unverified number, this page records the question count and duration as unknown. Confirm both on Oracle's site before you schedule.
What is the passing score and what does the exam cost?
Unknown, for the same reason: the source page was unavailable. Passing scores and fees are set by Oracle and can change, so quoting a remembered figure risks misleading you. Check the official exam page or contact your regional Oracle University office once the site is back online.
What is the retake policy if I fail?
This could not be confirmed from the official source, so no retake rule is stated here. Oracle's certification terms govern waiting periods and fees for repeat attempts. Review those terms on Oracle University before sitting the exam, and budget time in case a mandatory waiting period applies.
How difficult is the exam, and what should I study first?
Difficulty cannot be quantified without a verified blueprint. Practically, start with what you will use daily: instance startup and shutdown, storage and tablespace management, user and privilege administration, and RMAN backup and recovery. Then move to multitenant container and pluggable database operations, performance tuning, and monitoring before attempting practice questions.
Why does this page list only one content domain?
Because the official domain list and weightings were not retrievable. The single placeholder domain reflects the exam title only and must not be treated as an official blueprint. Once Oracle's page is accessible, compare its published objectives against your study plan and adjust your weak areas accordingly.
Which study materials should I use?
Use Oracle's own 19c documentation and Oracle University courses as your primary sources, since they align with what Oracle tests. Supplement them with a live 19c environment where you perform backups, recoveries, and pluggable database operations yourself. Avoid relying on unverified third-party summaries for exam logistics or objectives.
What are the most common preparation mistakes?
Reading without practicing is the biggest one: backup and recovery and multitenant tasks are far easier to answer after doing them. Other frequent errors include studying an older release's behavior, ignoring performance and monitoring topics, and trusting outdated fee, duration, or passing-score figures instead of checking Oracle's current published details.
