How ValidExamDumps Exam Pages Are Researched and Reviewed

Every exam page on this website carries the line "Prepared & Reviewed by the ValidExamDumps Editorial Team". This page explains what that statement means. It sets out the information we verify on each page, the sources we accept, the procedure we follow when a detail cannot be confirmed, and who approves a page before it is published.

Information Verified on Each Exam Page

Exam details The exam fee, testing time, passing score, delivery method, prerequisites, certification validity period, and the languages in which the exam can be taken. Each value is taken from the information published by the exam provider for that specific exam code. We do not copy these values from competitor websites, and we do not reuse a value from an earlier version of our own page without checking it again.
Exam domains The domains are reproduced from the provider's published exam outline in the provider's own order and wording. We do not merge, divide, rename or modernise a domain, and we do not carry forward the objectives of a superseded version of an exam. Where the provider publishes a weighting, we show it as published. Where no weighting is published, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
Practice questions Our exam preparation team reviews the questions individually. For each question, the team confirms that the marked answer is correct against the current exam objectives and writes the explanation that appears below it. Each question is then assigned to the domain of the outline that it tests.
Question count The figure shown is the number of questions we hold for that exam at the time the page is loaded. It is not rounded up or adjusted for promotional purposes, and it changes as the team adds to or revises the question set.
Frequently asked questions The questions and answers in this section are written to apply only to the exam on whose page they appear. Any entry that would apply equally to a different certification is removed during review.

Sources We Use

Accepted sources

  • The exam provider's own page for that exam code
  • The provider's certification, pricing and exam policy pages
  • The delivery provider that sells the exam seat, such as Pearson VUE, PSI, PeopleCert or Prometric
  • The provider's official documentation

Sources we do not use

  • Competitor exam material websites
  • Forum posts and comment threads
  • Blogs and aggregator pages that restate figures published elsewhere
  • A value we published previously, reused without being verified again

Procedure When a Detail Cannot Be Confirmed

We do not estimate a value in order to complete a page. Two rules apply before any page is published.

Unconfirmed details are omitted

If the provider does not publish a figure, or the figure cannot be read from one of the sources listed above, the corresponding row is left empty and is not displayed. It is not filled with an approximation, and it is not filled with a value taken from a source we do not accept.

Details that appear incorrect are withheld

A value that does not correspond to the provider's published information, or that is not appropriate for the field in which it appears, is removed from the page and checked manually before it can be published.

How a Page Is Prepared and Approved

  1. Research

    The exam's published details and objectives are collected from the provider's own pages, using only the sources listed above.
  2. Question review

    Our exam preparation team works through every question and its answer individually. The team confirms the correct answer, writes the explanation displayed beneath the question, and assigns the question to the domain of the exam outline that it tests.
  3. Verification of exam details

    An editor compares every exam detail shown on the page, including the fee, testing time, passing score, delivery method, prerequisites, validity period and languages, against the information the provider currently publishes. Any value that cannot be confirmed is removed.
  4. Approval and publication

    A page is published only after an editor has approved it. No page is published without review.

Circumstances That Require a Further Review

A published page is researched and reviewed again in each of the following circumstances:

  • The provider updates, renames or withdraws the exam
  • The provider changes the published outline, the fee or the passing score
  • Our question set for that exam is amended
  • A reader informs us that information on the page is incorrect

Corrections

If any detail on an exam page does not match the information the provider currently publishes, we would like to hear from you. Please send the exam code and a description of the error through our contact page, and it will be passed to the editorial team. Where the provider's published information differs from ours, the provider's information takes precedence and we correct our page.

The exam provider remains the authority on its own exam. We publish practice material and reference information relating to these exams. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for the certification bodies whose exams we cover, and their published pages should be treated as the final authority on fees, policies and eligibility.
