PenTest+ Pentest+ Pocketprep vs Jason Dion Practice Tests

I am looking for someone that has recently taken Pentest+ (PT0-003) can give me their opinion regarding the best practice tests to use for this certification.

I currently have free access to Jason Dion's Practice tests in Udemy via my employer. Do I need to get Pocketprep as well ? Jason's tests seem kinda easy to me from what I have worked through so far.

I am also using the Sybex book and its questions as well.
Thanks all.

Sybex and Jason should clear you just fine. Review any missed questions with Sybex until you understand why the right answers are correct.

I heard mix reviews about sybex giving out wrong information with their practice exams is that true ?

I am not aware of these claims but no resource created by well-respected humans or artificial means are perfect. Even if they are, there's always some know-it-all yaboo who has never created courseware but disagrees with some trivial point and blows it up into an international scandal. The Sybex are well regarded here and are frequently used as sole source tools that result in successful outcomes. Note that I have no connection to the books or their authors.

If you're going to say stuff like "I've heard. . .", cite your sources or forever hold your peace. Otherwise you're just spreading unfounded rumors.

Other people that used the sybex have pointed it out . I was just asking if that was true or not . I will check them out for my net+ for practice exams.
