Hi,
I've used the Whizlabs for SCJP 1.4 certification found it very good. Good answers were given. I'm would imagine that for the web services one that whizlabs do that their would be the same quality of answers too.
Hope this helps. Ronan.

Hi Jesus,

I think this depends. I used the Whizlabs SCMAD and did not find it all that usefull, the Sun e practice exam was much better in this case.

Whizlabs exams tend to be harder, but this does not always make it useful to learn the easier material.

Also it is hard to print questions of the whizlab simulator.

I have never tried CertGear.

I used SCMAD simulator and was quite satisfied with it. However, I did not use Sun e practice exam and have no ground to compare the two.

I agree that whizlab tests are hard to print.

Whizlab simulator tech suport has slow response. Some question answers are really doubtful. I posted to them some emails questioning the answers, they are still not respond to me. Hope the real exam don't happen to have the same question as in the simulator before they give me the formal clear explaination. If I found too much misleading stuff, I may ask for refund.

Don't worry, as far as I know there is no "bug" in the real exam. And don't blame Whizlabs's support team, blame me

Hey, Jesus !

You must register on that web site to take sample test.

The registration is free. I have registered and tried - it works fine for me.

MZ

I have question that may not deserve a new topic so I will ask here.

I have just tried a mock exam and there are questions where it is not specified how many to choose/check (checkboxes).

Does the real exam tell how many exactly to choose from the choices?
