Exam retirement is an important step in any certification program’s lifecycle. The old tests are gone and new ones are created. This is why vendors inform their candidates about any changes in their programs. The same applies to Oracle portfolios and the paths they have. The notice about retirement is usually sent out 90 days before the test, but some tests may require a 180-day notice. In some cases, however, the notification may be sent in less than 90 days.
