I am into oracle database administration job. When ever I went to an interview the first thing everyone looked into is whether I had certification. I had four years of experience in database administration, but no certification.
I went to an interview with my friend, he was OCP certified with 2 year experience and but he really din't have any practical expierience in database administration. The strange thing, he got a call, and I din't. They said you are not certified.
I decided to get certified. Studied Oracle 9i Pl/SQL and went , failed first time. The questions there were not the one which I faced in practical experience. Friend told , read the dumps and go. I buyed the question material from testking, actualtest etc sites. It took me one day to go through 150 questions for each paper. The questions were exactly the same in the test and it took only 15 minutes for me to answer the whole paper, though we had 2 hours.
Now within 3 months I am
oracle 9i database OCA certified
oracle 10g database OCP certified
oracle 10g application server OCA certified
Microsoft certified.
After doing all this, I realized I had end up paying around 50 thousand Rupees, 6 thousand for each exam and around 6 thousand for each testing material.
The titles were worth the money I spent. But his exams were not worth the value, with the exact questions available. You cannot judge a person based on the certifications he has at all.

hi ramesh,
You mentioned that you referred to some brain-dumps and all to clear your papers. can you please guide me from which website did you get the papers.
Thanks and appreciate your help :)

You can get it from yahoo groups. search for certification in groups.yahoo.com. Join the groups and in the files section , you should find all of them.
