Certification Prep: More Practice or More Assessment?

When it comes to preparing for an IT certification, the adage ‘Practice makes perfect‘ makes perfect sense. Practicing, practice, practice is great, but is it sufficient to know if you are truly ready for your certification exam? Customers sometimes ask us which is more important – practicing for a test and simply aiming for a 100% or actually assessing your skill levels. Do you need to be assessed on your practice tests? Some test prep vendors believe practice tests are sufficient.  We say they are both important.
