I suppose what I am trying to say is that you have to actually know and understand the subject matter. Five out of six of us took the exam, one scraped a pass, two failed and the other guy was still in there when I left.

Unfortunately, AT is a braindump... if you don't know what a braindump is, look here.

If a training center is using them, I'd report the center to CompTIA.

Yes I know what a braindump is and AT were not as "good" as Transcender who are so called legit.

As I said earlier "these were useful as long as you learn why the given answer is correct. If you just learn the answers then you would stand no chance in the exam. I suppose what I am trying to say is that you have to actually know and understand the subject matter"

Which is probably why at least 2 of the other course members failed.

Regardless of whether you personally think they were good or not, it is by definition cheating and therefore your TP should be reported. The use of braindumps devalues certifications for everybody, not just the people that condone and or use them.

Transcenders are not actual exam questions, hence they are not braindumps, whereas AT are.

The staff and members of this forum are actively against the proliferation of *illegal* material of this nature.
