A follow up

I shared this 'discovery' of mine with my friends on Facebook, as well as inside the discussions in the dedicated Sun Java certification groups on LinkedIn. I received a lot of comments and opinions.
Thanks to everyone! So far i haven't been banned or kicked out of anywhere. This is great.
I am moving ahead towards my goal to make everyone know about this issue.

I must also say, that there are other certifications, for which a similar problem is not present (at least at the moment) - for instance, the Spring certifications. I haven't found any exam simulators created for those exams so far. This is great. There even aren't any dedicated books for the exams. Too bad that one has to go through the Spring trainings in order to get the right to take up the exam. (and those trainings are really a very very cool thing, but also very very expensive).

The other certifications, which, i believe, lack this 'flaw', are the three levels of OMG OCUP certificates. There is just a single book out there, available as a preparation tool, but i couldn't find any sample test questions. This is great.

I believe that developing mock exams or exam simulators is a very good idea. It should be done by specialists, who are permanently in touch with the real exam creators, in order to have a realistic notion about the question's difficulty and scope, and in order to deliver that notion to those who purchase the simulator. It is very important to have some idea about what the questions will look like.

But it is also very important for those preparation tools to offer questions that are just of a 'specimen type', and which will never ever be present on the real exam.
