Beware!
The Internet is a great place to find just about anything, and IT certification study materials are no different. However, it’s very important to be careful when deciding what materials to use to prepare for your exam.
There are several places on the Internet that will sell “practice exam questions”. Some people have reported that these “practice exam questions” are sometimes materially identical to some of the actual exam questions they receive on the exam. Aside from being morally wrong and borderline illegal, going down this route can be potentially disastrous for your certification career.
Here are some reasons why you want to stay far away from these materials:
- Exam Vendors know when you’ve used these materials. It’s not very hard for exam vendors to determine when you’ve used these materials beyond a reasonable doubt. If an exam vendor believes you’ve used these materials, your certification can be revoked and you may even be banned for life from ever acquiring that exam vendor’s certifications again.
- It’s just wrong. When you tell people you are certified, you’ll want to feel proud of your accomplishment because you’ve earned it.
- You won’t be prepared to use the skills if you didn’t actually learn them. Once you are certified, employers will expect you to be an expert in the topic areas for which you are certified. You’ll need to have the skills to support any certification you’ve attained.
- It’s simple enough to pass the “right” way. We’ve made it extremely simple for you to develop a plan and pass your certification exam. Don’t use materials that may jeopardize your certification career when you can attain the accomplishment with pride, dignity and confidence.
