• Ignorance of the authors, shame of the business

  irbislonFebruary 12, 2005

  Pros

  Good marketing that fools you into buying this product by writing plenty of phony reviews for themselves on the Net. With same grammatical and spelling errors.

  Cons

  Errors. Factual errors that reveal authors ignorance in the very basics of the subject they dare to teach. Here's the very first one I found: they ask you what value will b have after running this snippet: <p> <p>String s1 = "MyString"; <p>String s2 = "MyString"; <p>boolean b = s1==s2; <p> <p>And their "correct" answer was "false"! 8-O And their "explanation" went like this: "== operator compares object references..." The ignoramus who wrote it did not even know about the Java string pool!! There are more examples that being compiled and run prove them wrong. About one wrong answer per theme in average. They did not even bother to run their own examples, they did not even bother to learn the very basics of Java. I quit looking at this product after I saw the reference to the Number object that lives in the java.Lang package. Yes, L in "Lang" uppercase. <p> <p>Very badly written "engine" that works only at certain screen resolutions like 800x600. That's totally unprofessional, on my screen resolution of 1600x1200 most controls go off screen, others cram together so you can't discern them, and they don't provide menu items for the invisible buttons. <p> <p>Deceptive ordering. I bought a "buy one-get one free order" - they charged me for both products explaining that the free one was that "engine" which looks like a VB application written by a VB n00b.

• **Total Rubbish**

  Pros

  Summary

  If you honestly believe any of the previous reviews, your off your head. I have purchased products from this company, and can tell you that it's total rubbish. I have also researched the company, there are two chaps running it in New Delhi, part time...nice. They are about to go out of business, and are on the edge of financial ruin. Their products don't work, and they don't support, they also don't supply refunds. Good luck!

• Has very interactive Quiz

  Pros

  Summary

  · I bought the Whizlabs XML Exam Simulator for preparing the exam. What I liked most about the simulator was the interactive quiz feature, which contained 115 questions and allowed me to build my own quiz. It allowed me to decide upon the kind of questions i want to be asked and I could also decide how much time I wanted to spend on each question.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  The best feature of the Whizlabs Exam Simulators is that once you are over with a particular exam you always have the option of seeing a report which details you about which answers were right and which were wrong. All the questions are shown in their entirety, along with the answer(s) you chose, and the correct answer(s). Not only this each question and answer also had details of why the correct answer(s) are correct and why the incorrect answer(s) are wrong, along with a reference to the section(s) and/or subsection(s) that covered the question. It tremendously helps you get acquainted with not only the question but also the concept.
