I've always gone for Transcender and been very impressed with them. To date I've used them for my A+, N+ and im now using them for my 70-270.

Boson is another company that you know will be top class and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them either.

Apart from Transcender and Boson, the other vendor that I like are Preplogic. There are others out there, but those 3 are the ones I prefer

Thanks for your help.

I see that these companies are based in the US.

Therefore is it better to buy the download option rather that the CD?


Thanks

I don't bother with CD's when it comes to practice exam, I normally just buy the product and then download it. Faster and easier

Do the questions download in a PDF type form allowing them to be printed also?

Transcender's download in an engine type format.

You would have to download the engine from Transcender and then install the content download that you have purchased.

I dont think you are able to print the questions in a .PDF format or anything similar, at least i've never done that or heard of anyone who has! I could be wrong.

Preplogic (& other vendors) do Printables that you can buy, but to my knowledge it's a separate product.

Personally I don't get on with them, however other's have rated them well - all down to personal preference
