    Major certification exams are protected by copyright and companies that create them tend to eagerly bring lawsuits against anyone violating their intellectual property. To get the exact questions and answers you would need access to every current form of the test and the matching answer keys for all of those test variations, and you would be purchasing stolen materials in doing so. Instead, there are test prep companies that for a fee can help you focus on the most important and most frequently asked pieces of information. With enough searching in the dark corners of the web you might be able to find someone willing to offer to do an illicit deal, but you'll be out the money once they disappear and you discover that what you were sold is worthless. It is like trying to go to the police because someone sold you fake heroin.

    How Tests Are Created
    All tests of any worth whatsoever begin with the creators building a test bank that contains far more questions than will appear on the exam. There should be categories of knowledge that have roughly equal numbers of questions in them, unless a a particular category is more important. When a test is created, questions are drawn from the test bank with each category represented. A proper test bank must contain enough questions so that you can generate a number of different tests from it. The tests are not identical, but each should check in sufficient depth for the most important knowledge areas. Anyone skilled at writing tests can write a variety of questions with different but correct answers that check for one piece of knowledge.

    Why Tests Exist
    The theory in assessments is that under ideal conditions, a student will learn, understand and remember most of the information being taught. You can not practically give a test that asks for every piece of information ever presented, so you attempt to design the assessment to demonstrate that a student has a solid grasp of the material to get a good grade. In case of Pass-Fail exams, the passing point is set at what the testers  is the minimum level required for the examinee to be competent.


    Help With Studying
    There are third party companies that provide study materials for almost any standardized tests. Companies that help you study for exams usually use questions from previous tests, assuming that much of the information will remain relevant. Organizations serious about their tests change them regularly, building new test banks, and most have various forms of their test at any given moment. Companies like Cert Killers, VCE Plus and others can help you prepare for this and similar exams, but they abide by the rules of the testing company, in this case Hewlett Packard. They can't sell you exact copies of all forms of any current test and the answer key and remain in business.
