I needed to pass the CompTIA A certification test for my job. I looked around the internet and, like a fool, fell for the sales pitch from Quickcert.com or Specialized Solutions. I was promised all of these great study materials for a variety of certifiications. I bought the whole package for $1,100, studied, took notes, took their "certification simulator" countless times and was passing it in the 90th percentile. I called their "ed support" department as instructed and was told to "go online and sign up for the test..." no prep no in house exam, nothing. It wasn't until I was taking the test that I realized that Quickcert had sold me study materials that were current in 2003. Now I'm taking a test in 2008 that was altered in 2006.
Thanks to Quickcert, I bought one thousand dollars worth of useless crap!
Oh, by the way... I bought a $40.00 book from Amazon.com, read it for three weeks and passed the test.
