Does low-cost cert-prep really work

| 2Certify.com, testKing, actualexams, actualtests, examsheets,
ace-it-certifications, ace-it-certifications, smartcertify,
pass-guaranteed.
A few companies which offer very inexpensive cert-prep packages. Some
of these packages are $99 for a lifetime of all the cert-prep you
want.
Do they work?

| If you are thinking about going in that direction... I would get two
books and read those for each cert e.g. for Exam 70-210 I would get a
Sybex book (atleast one) and a MS core reference set and read the
volume(s) you are studying for then only go to the questions after
running through all of the books' exercises a couple of times. You'll be
surprised how much more you'll understand. If you do the questions alone
(and somehow pass) you are going to look stupid at an interview when it
comes to actual hands on skills... I'd be more afraid of getting the job
and then having an I.T. director come up and say..."It's not working
out." When in actuality he's thinking "You don't know crap and we need
someone in here that knows what the heck they are doing!"
Whatever I get... I want to keep and not have to play catch up later
on.. It's better to be on top of your game than it is to struggle.
Employers don't want strugglers at all. If they keep you it may be in a
help desk position but it will not be in a mission critical situation
where your knowledge stands before you. Along the same vein... If you
want to be trusted you have to prove yourself and have a respect for the
process. The more you actually know the more it'll show....
READ, Do the Exercises in the books, and only resort to the questions
after you have atleast a moderate knowledge of the systems.
Also, If you are going to do the exam questions along with reading then
if you miss a question just don't memorize the answer ...research it and
understand why you missed the question and get that section down.

| Yes, they work as they all have actual question (which is of course
illegal). But ask yourself do you really want to cheat??? You cannot
fool your employer (future) or yourself, buy passing the exam without
having a real knowledge. Certification is worthless piece of paper
without actual knowledge. Also if you decided to cheat, consider to
print the certificate at home it will be cheaper than 99$ and no body
really care to find out whether it is original or not anyway!!

| Being that I am somewhat a newbie to writing exams, I did use a tesking prep
and the transcenders series. I ended up passing, some of the testking
questions were very close to the ones an the actual exam....
But I did study this also in college and I work in the field, so every
little bit helps.
