I had these tests when I did my OCAD certification. I remember there being many more than 300 questions though. I think there were about that number *per module*. If they are the same ones then they are certainly worth it. Many of the questions come up in the actual test (at least very similar), and mimic very well the types of questions that are being asked.

We had a couple of problems:

Some answers were incorrect.
Questions in actual tests are phrased *much* better. The practice tests had a tendency to ask the questions in very strange ways.

Sounds reasonable for 65 uks (100 dollars)... I didn't pay for mine as they were included in a prep course. Received on Tue Oct 26 1999 - 18:23:24 CDT
