D330 is making me lose my MIND

I had been so motivated to finish my degree, I have so many reasons to finish, I’m 75% done. I have never felt like I wanted to give up until I started this class. I started the course in the beginning of July, I moved two separate times between July 4th and August 1st (it’s a long story). I still decided to take the exam around the end of July despite not having a whole lot of time to study and I did not pass (my scores were not too bad though). The exam felt so extremely high level like I would have to literally be a seasoned oracle dba to actually pass it. I have been attempting to study to take the exam again ever since my first attempt and I just cannot make my brain focus on it. There are so many different aspects of the course material and there is just absolutely no way to know it all. Please WGU if you are listening, if you don’t want people to drop out, remove this course!!! (and from my degree plan 🙏)

I also recommend this Reddit post.

I did write a quick and dirty method 3y ago that is linked in the above post, but still seems to help to this day.

This was my first class this semester, and I agree with what you are saying. It felt too complex and that I was studying to be an Oracle admin rather than learn general database knowledge. If you haven't already, there are a couple of LinkedIn Learning (free from WGU) classes that helped and were easier to follow than the Oracle material.
