4. Study Expert Oracle Database Architecture - 9i and 10g Programming Techniques and Solutions (Paperback)
by Thomas Kyte (Author
This is the book to understand oracle. Because no understanding is very difficult to pass OCA. THough at expert level but the writing is lucid and simple. Best Oracle book i have read.

THe rest of the books mentioned below are not so good, either not enough info or too complicated for OCA.
Oracle press OCP study guide: Too long winded. Not enough info, doest even describe extent management. Essential oracle: doesnt even discuss extent management. The tuning books too complicated for beginners.
