That's not quite how it works jimmy. I know that you're in Pakistan and that you've been programmed to memorize Q&A so that you can obtain your certifcations with little effort, but the Q&A you're mentioning have been stolen from the actual exams and using them is considered cheating.
Do you actually work for selfexamengine, jimmy? |

For information on all of CompTIA's certifications you can visit http://certification.comptia.org/
Here are the links to the specific exams. All these links include up-to-date exam objectives, sample questions, brochures, and more.
A+ Essentials / A+ IT Technician
CompTIA Network+ 2005
CompTIA Security+
CompTIA Server+ 2005
I hope that helps.
I'm sure that will have some future use. Thanks for the effort.
After all this talk about dumps, you've got me curious - but not enough to search them out. If "certblaster" hasn't been blacklisted, I don't need any more confusion.
Thanks again,

Hopefully curiosity won't get the best of you. It may be tough, but just remember that using them is not only putting your certifications at risk, it's devaluing the certifications of all the hard working professionals that have devoted their time to knowing the technologies and preparing for the exams without cheating.
At far as I have heard and seen, CertBlaster is a good source; until we have reason to believe otherwise.
Good Luck on your exams |

Re the last post before Jimmy's Certguard Administrator says:
"At far as I have heard and seen, CertBlaster is a good source; until we have reason to believe otherwise."
I've got 30-40 screenshots of CERTBLASTER exam questions and unanswered emails and critiques, all of which point up their inconsistencies and errors I could send you. Here is one example of an unanswered email to CERTBLASTER:
________________
CompTIA A+ 220-601 Essentials, Exam 1, 6.0 Security #119
Which of the choices listed would be considered the strongest password?
* P <------correct
55w#r>
* Pa$$word
* Pa55w0rd
* PaSsWORd
Comment: The correct answer looks like P[enter][enter]55w#r>
Can you please explain how this can be done?
--------------
I sent the same question to the Skillsoft mentors and they suggestedd I contact the author.
Your assertion that CERTBLASTER is a 'good source' leaves me wondering how you arrived at that conclusion?
Let me know if you want more info/examples about this 'good source'.
Thanks,

Do the questions and answers provided by CertBlaster appear on the actual exam?
We arrived at that conclusion the same way we came to every conclusion. CertGuard is all about "Exam Security & Certification Integrity", meaning that we are interested in knowning if test prep materials violate Exam Candidate / Non-Disclosure Agreements set forth by the Certification Vendors.
I'm sorry, but critiquing each individual question to tell whether or not the people writing the questions know what they are talking about is beyond the scope of our duties.
With that said, what I mean by "Good Source" is that CertBlaster does NOT appear to be putting your certifications at risk by providing you with questions and answers that were stolen from the exams.
In other words:
Good = Legitimate
Bad = Illegal |

I think I got into the wrong forum. I was looking for a site that evaluated the quality/timeliness of the material taught to the student by these certification vendors.
You said:
quote:

How could I possibly know that, not having taken the exam?
I'm absolutely sure some will, and some won't. I hope the example, I provided doesn't, plus over 3 dozen others that I bothered to note/screenshot.
You also said:

In other words:
Good = Legitimate
Bad = Illegal
Here is where we part company.
Certblaster my not be putting my certification at risk by supplying stolen questions, but they surely are putting it at risk by giving me incorrect answers.
To me,
Good = Clear concise information w/o errors.
Bad = Information that is fuzzy, antiquated, and/or simply wrong.
Sorry I got into the wrong forum. I wasn't even aware of this 'dumping' problem until I got here.
If you know of any entity that evaluates the quality (not legality) of the material taught, or forums on that topic, I'd be forever grateful for the information.
And thank you for the information you gave earlier.

My apologies if I mislead you in any way. I'm not aware of any website that does what you're looking for. If there are, then I presume they aren't doing it effectively, since there are people out there that will falsely promote their own materials to make themselves appear to be providing that "Clear concise information w/o errors" that you're looking for. Speaking of, I would really be interested in knowing if there is even ONE company out there that provides anything that is error free.
CertBlaster may be putting their reputation at risk by not cleaning up their materials, but I wouldn't say that they are putting your certifications at risk. Let's put it this way; if you study with CertBlaster and fail your exam, all they've done is pissed you off and probably reduced their chance of getting any referrals from you. But they have not put you in a position of cheating where you could potentially LOSE the certifications that you thought you earned.
Now that you know about this "dumping problem", I hope that you'll keep that in mind whenever you're looking for materials to study with. There are 1000s of illicit websites out there that APPEAR to be legitimate, but they're definitely providing you with stolen material that will cause you to lose your certifications. The certification vendors aren't playing around anymore, they don't care if you didn't know it was illegal; so please, use our "Braindump Identification System" to make sure you're not risking your certifications. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but it will at least narrow down the playing field so you have a better idea of where you should start looking.
Sorry to see you go. I wish you the best on your endeavors!! |

Books > websites
This is the way I see it. Any joe blow can make a website. That leaves open the possibility that (unless it's a vendor site or an educational institution) any information contained could not only be violating copyright laws but worse yet it could contain OLD information which may cause you to waste money testing for an exam that you end up failing because the material provided to you by joe blow's website dates back to when Jesus was a Private in the Marine Corps. Why bother with the hassle?
Books... however, are a much easier learning resources to work with and trust. You know who the publisher is. You know sure as heck that they aren't going to violate any copyright laws because if they did it would be all over the book reviews. And, courtesy of internet sites like Amazon and others you can read such reviews by folks who already bought a particular book and hear from them as to the accuracy of the information provided and how well it helped them prepare for an exam. |

| You're absolutely correct. That's one of the reasons we strongly recommend that people start with the certification vendors (CV) when embarking on their journey to become certified. The further recommendations on the CV websites are almost certain to be not only legit, but up-to-date as well; and most of the recommendations I've seen on the CV sites have been books anyways. |

Does it REALLY matter if this site is safe?
