    No, no coincidence. They are the same engine. And... mostly the same questions.

    Are you saying that Transcender and Self Test's questions showed up on the live exam? I can tell you with authority that they were not, because Transcender and Self Test create unique questions that are NOT exactly like the live exam.

    Or are you saying that other prep tools besides Transcender and Self Test are just like the live exam? If that's what you're saying, then you've figured out what a braindump is, and you shouldn't use those to prepare for the live exam. Using them is no different than looking at a professor's final exam in his or her desk, and doing so can get you decertified.

    Yes. Owned by the same company (Kaplan), and worked on by the same employees. At least, that's how it was when I was there.

    Not much - as I said most are from work so about £40 on books, another $80 on self test and £200 (regretably) on CATS A+ CDs.
    The only purchase I'd change is the CATS CDs

    Then I shall bow down to a great authority - as you worked there :)

    Braindumps - I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole for a oil tanker - I want to show myself (let alone any one else!) that I can and did this and other courses on my own merit. I understand how much it devalues the qualification - I wouldn't have spent the last 6 months and god knows how many hours revising if I could just cheat. :mad

    I created questions from scratch. Transcender/Self Test guarantees you'll pass because they're confident in the quality of their product.

    By the way, although Kaplan offers a guarantee with both Transcender and Self Test, the site you linked is neither Kaplan's, Transcender's, nor STS's Web site.

    I thought the study material was dated seemed 2001 objectives. Although they did provide an upgrade CD free:biggrin

    But the training videos were 1st class, easy to understand, clear and concise.

    Anyway, go have some fun derkit, you've earned it, well done for passing.

    Yes. Isn't that what a Don't Pass Guarantee is? :)

    The guarantee claim rate was quite small - at least, it used to be, back in the old Transcender days when I was privy to such information.

    UCM, also be sure to see my above comment - the site you linked isn't Kaplan's site, nor is it Transcender's or Self Test's.
