I am about to update my certs and sign up for the test on the BCM450 through Prometric.
Someone told me about a test prep website, and they said it helped them prepare.
Has anyone used any of the websites like pass4sure.com or TestKing.com and what did you think of it?
I know many people that have what I call paper certs. They pass the test but could not install the product or troubleshoot it.
I have been installing and designing Norstar and then BCM systems since the old 8x24 days. I feel I am very strong on the product.
I am not trying to get a paper cert that does not mean anything. But sometimes the questions that get asked on the tests are things you have to get out of a book and not necessarily "real world" issues.
I just want everyone to know I am not trying to take the easy way out. I just want to make sure I am prepared and pass the first time. If I fail I have to pay for the test myself.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
cook1082 - Thanks for the quick reply.

On the web site there are a few example test questions but not any real prep material I saw. I already have the books which I got when they first came out.

I don't want to drive to Dallas and sit in a Global Knowledge course where 95% will be review.

Is there someonething else on there I am missing?

Thanks again.
 
I took the BCM boot camp, installed many BCM, and the test was nothing what I learned!!

If you know the bcm and only need the cert, then the online test sites are great, it was in fact the entire test I took when i went in the 2nd time after finding out what I learned in class was not on the test.

The online tests will not teach you the BCM however.

Johnthephoneguy - Thanks. I know the BCM very well. Usually if I have to post a question no one answers because it is not the easy stuff. I just want to make sure I pass that test so it does not cost me $150. If I fail the first time and have to retake it I won’t get my training re-imbursement.
 
Those will save you a re-test thats for sure!

Thanks. Do you have one specific you like or are either of those ok?
 
I still have the pdf at home on a pc, I would have to look to see where it was from again. The test I took was word for word what I paid for off the net. i think there were a few more questions on the exam guide than the actual test, but not much more.

Give me til 5pm est and i should be home and can verify who it was from.

The site you want is Testkingworld.com.
Buy their whole package which is about $79.00 and you get a wealth of information. I have used their tests as study guides and you can be your own morals coach.
Memorize them, you will pass. Use them to study and you will know the material.
