Exclamation Exam Drill ??? Worth the money???

Hello all I'm just asking anyone with experience using the examdrill for taking the network+ cert.
My question is can a test prep be as good as it states with so many obvious spelling errors? Has anyone passed the test with just the exam drill?

Thanks all

You won't pass the test with just examdrill, (or at least it takes the piss if you do) that is not the point of it.

I used it and Mike Meyers book and got a good score. You need to have a good base of knowledge before you use examdrill, it will then show you your weak areas and give you good explanations for where you went wrong.

It is also worryingly close to the real exam.

The spelling mistakes are distracting but don't alter the validity of a great product.

ExamDrill is a very good product but you need something to go along with it

Exam Drill

Exam Drill is the same as the actual exam, exceptions:

-Exam Drill doesn't always tell you how many correct choices are necessary for a question. Actual Comptia exams(A+ HW/OS, Net+) always do.

-Exam Drill's utility switch questions were easier and not the same as the actual exam. See my Another 863 post.

***It would payoff to memorize all utilities and switches.

-No IRQ questions, maybe there was the IRQ 3 & IRQ 4 matched to the COM ports question, I can't remember, I am confusing that with the 3 test engines i used.

I have the ExamDrill Network+ and I don't think the spelling and grammer is that bad. And if you think the spelling is bad on ExamDrill, wait until you take the actual Comptia exams. I have taken the two A+ exams and I was surprised at the number of miss spellings, typos and incomplete sentences. Comptia is more interested in what you know about computers than your ability to correctly spell words.

Exam Drill is the best practice test for the Network+ based on my experience and a couple of my collegues. But you should read something in conjunction with taking the practice tests as the explanations in Exam Drill are not that involved.

What?

I used Exam Drill or Net+ (100%), A+(94%), CCNA (94%) and MCP (89%) and on none of those tests was there a section on spelling or grammar.
