Why spend thousands on special “pay and pass” certification study courses when the Web is full of free practice tests? Search below for links to free tests organized by skill set and certification.

(Note: Weve tried to exclude so-called “brain dump” sites that appropriate tests directly from official cert tests. Please drop us a note if you spot brain dumps here or if you know of sites that should be added to this list. Thanks.)
