And remember that those of us that hire people are well aware of these "cheats" and that is why we don't give a flying donut in heck about people with OCP certificates. We have learned that many people learn to pass the exam but can't actually do the work.

Use a cram to get past the test and my whiteboard will cut you down in minutes if you make it past the phone interview.

I strongly urge you to forego the easy route and learn by doing.
