    Certifications: Testking vs. Others

    has anyone ever bought these packages to study for an exam certification?
    i see the Test King site but then i see other sites saying that they are selling the Test King tests, as well as Actual-tests

    example:

    they say they are selling both vendor for one low price. i guess my question is do they all steal the tests from each other or does test-king have affiliates? i have no idea.

    can anyone recommend a site they have used for certs that is reputable?

    thanks!

    I used/use Transcender. It's a bit more expensive (if you didn't get it bundled with something), but it's worth it. What tests are you taking?

      going to take the vmwawe 5 server test, and the CAPM project management test.....and a few others.

      i'm just wondering if all these companies steal the questions from each other....why pay $300 for 1 if you can get all of them for $100....
      but i don't know if this is the case.

        Transcender was rumored to have people with pornographic memories take the tests and I assume this helped them become the best. Even though the "actual Windows 2000 Pro" I took had errors and incomplete answers (that I mentioned in the "exit survey"?)...

          I just passed my VCP5-DCV on Monday. I didn't use TestKing or anything like that though.

          Be prepared for some iSCSI questions! Man, they hammer that home.

              i'm not ready for VM test....rather take the PMI exams and sit in my own office.
              actually i think they get guys w/ spy type cameras to take the test b/c i remember year ago that the exam was EXACT......even diagrams and pics where the same.......or else someone from microsoft leaded them (would not be surprised....especially since i can download a move even before it hits the theaters. people leak things all the time

                I just took Security+ and I only missed three questions. First I watched the CBT Nugget series and then used Actual-tests. The test questions were..... uh spot on.

                  I had all the questions to SYS-301 to practice but when I took the test they switched it all up and added practical application / interactive things that I didn't have. either way. I have the cert and for now my trio of certs is good (and free)

                    can you give me the URL where you got those? i'm finding lots of companies saying that they are affiliates but then i find out their parent companies are completely different.

                      Actual Tests - unlimited lifetime access to IT training Exams and Certifications in PDF and Exam Engine formats, along with 1800+ other exams and updates


                      That is the site we use. If you plan on taking more than one test, the price seems reasonable. You can probably find if free online somewhere, just have to make sure it is the most up to date version. It changes pretty often.

                      For 20+ years, IT pros and teams have trusted CBT Nuggets for online IT training for certifications and IT skills. Start a free week.

                      CBT Nuggets is a video series, very boring but goes over everything. I get them free from work but to buy them is pretty pricey. I'm sure you can find them free online though.

                        i would just stick with CBTnuggets...

                        AFAIK, actualtests, examking, are all stolen tests with solutions that you buy. Its better to actually learn the info instead of just memorizing the answers
