Know this will be a bit of a taboo subject but we(colleagues and I) are looking to get a group account on one of the more popular sites to study for certifications.
Question is, which site has the best dumps and does anyone know the prices for the accounts.

Awesome the world really needs more IT people to earn certs they really should not have. Good luck i heartily recommend all Linux and php certs. Stay away from the dotnet coding ones though.. they're terrible. Ruby on rails is where it's at.

Although you are just cheating yourselves if you use the answer dumps rather than the summary versions .. I've been there :) it depends on what Certification you are doing. Microsoft there seem to be stacks of sites. Cisco not so much. The best ones are the simulation tests that give you a semi-real experience

Call it cheating, but no course or book will prepare you sufficiently for an exam, for instance Server 2012.

I honestly wish they would start structuring more "practical" hands on exams......it's far too easy to memorise a couple of dumps and write the test and call yourself qualified

Eh?

I've done my 2012 MCSA and MSCE by working off the books and TechNet.

But go ahead study your brain dumps, I will catch you out in an interview as will anyone that remotely knows what they are doing.

I work for a large IT company. HR know about brain dumps and interview techniques have changed from accepting certifications "as-is" to a 2nd level interview process that includes technical questions around the certified topics to ensure understanding exists.

Unless of course you have the CCIE Lab under your belt - difficult to brain dump that :)

Touche'

We have a gent at our company who can run the show on his own if he wanted to, smart and talented young guy with no papers
And that is where I say it's the intentions behind using Brain Dumps in getting Cert's that makes it honest or dishonest. He literally needed to write a few exams to "prove" he was qualified at what he does. Then you get the guy off the street who uses it to obtain several Cert's, lie about his experience and end up leeching off of others' genuinely earned experience to be able to do his job

I can agree, nothing replaces experience.....and stuff i do on a daily basis wasn't even part of my exams yet it was minimum requirements

Schit, that was not my whole post. I mean, the easiest way to catch someone out is to ask him for his course attendance certificates. I recently had to do a few exams, just to get certified for what I actually already do, and the braindumps just saved me a lot of cash, because I was not going to pay for the courses.

One simple example is the GETMAC /V command. That was never mentioned in any course I attended, yet it popped up in the exam, and now I actually use that command. So I did learn something there :eek:

I use CBT nuggets for the study material......so presenting a Course Certificate may very well be a problem for others like me and won't necessarily mean we did not attend a course, it's just virtual :p

As you all know you can only view the exam file aka .vce files with the VCE exam Simulator which you can't buy anymore,only rent at $15,99 (R235) . Ridiculous I know right.
Anyway here is an updated guide on how to view .vce files for free. http://funkytechguy.blogspot.co.za/2016/06/how-to-view-vce-files-for-free.html

As previously mentioned, if you only do dumps,you WILL be caught out eventually. Rather study hard, books,trainsignal ,cbt nuggets, online free labs and then before you go write you do some revision with the vce files that you can get at examcollection and view them

Braindumps are an invaluable part of your studies and path to certification. Nobody likes anyone that passes exams JUST using braindumps. But I have noticed that you sit in a week long course, and you do the exam, you and see that week has not nearly prepared you for the exam.

Same goes for guys with years' experience in the field but no papers to show for it (perhaps appointed in the position years ago, internal shifts, etc etc), braindumps will get them used to the kind of questions to expect and the logic of the exam.

I passed all the way to MCP and years later MCSE using the MSPress exam prep kits, 8 years on the job experience, and the MS virtual academy. If you know what you are doing you DON'T need exam dumps! I wish there was some way to track this ****, exam dumps lower the value of certification for all vendors. Its sad.

I disagree. When I was sent on a Windows Vista course, 5 days of class, one dude gave us braindumps as well. I went through those questions. Good grief, there was NO way only class could prepare you for these question. Luckily job experience also helped, but imagine a youngster fresh out of school.

I don't know about all vendors, but take Microsoft as an example, MS have 2 or 3 years req experience for level 300 exams, and similar for level 100. They don't expect or target certification at students without real experience. How on earth you could pass even a level 100 SQL Server or similar exam without a couple years experience I can only imagine exam dumps. This is the problem with exam dumps, they lower the value of certification because people then think anyone can reach MCSE etc.

I do agree that even a 5 day "exam prep" course is not sufficient to pass an exam, I tried one before doing MCSE SQL Server last year; not only is the content more an overview with one practice exercise per section, the people on these courses ask questions that show they have next to no real experience (which the course providers seem to target, which is backwards because they are not the people who have the req experience to actually pass).
I got more value from watching MVPs on MS virtual academy which is free!
