Then you have never read the NDA
Testking uses >ACTUAL< test questions, which means they have actually
recorded or stolen test questions from the Microsoft exams. So, instead
of
knowing the information and having the experience, the cheater simply
memorizes the questions and answers and receives an MCSE certification.

Now, I realize some people want to use braindumps (like testking) to pass
an
exam because they feel that they are qualified and are at the skill level
of
an MCSE. The problem with that thinking is this - If you really --know--
the information, and are working at the level of an MCSE, then you don't
need to study or practice at all.

I believe that if a test candidate is working at a MCSE level, and simply
needs the certifications for a job related reason, the candidate should
use
a Microsoft approved practice test (MeasureUp is good) and find out if
there
is some area of weakness. Then, after identifying areas that need work,
simply study on those areas, and practice using virtual machines (or a
real
test environment) and then take the actual exam.

Is it too much to ask that people actually get some hands-on experience
before becoming "Engineers"?

Anyway, I think that testking is a good material for make a final
preparation before taking the real exam. There is nothing bad in it...
I dont understant why there is so much dust around it.

By heat, you mean being accused of cheating, yes?

Even mentioning how many questions were on the test is considered
violating
the NDA and "could" result in your being stripped of your certs and
being
banned from future test.

I found that out, but luckily not the hard way.
