I would imagine that for the Associate exam this is probably fine. For the Professional exams it might be hrader with just the Express version.

I have several Oracle certs, and have worked with it every day for 10+ years.

The OCA/OCP track uses features not found in the Express edition, and even some are only in the Enterprise Edition. You need to get the standard download which included all versions. Install the Enterprise Edition when you see the choices in the installer. That will put all tools covered into your hands. You can use the Enterprise Edition for educational "learning/training" purposes. It's covered in the eula. We've (the Oracle community) always done it even when it wasn't covered in the eula. Oracle's software has always been available freely for download, with the stipulation that you are not using it for business use/monetary gain and only for demo/trial purposes.
