Disclosure
How ExamCores is researched, written and funded — and what a human checks before anything goes live.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are labelled affiliate wherever they appear. Which resources we list and how we rank them is decided before, and independently of, any commercial arrangement — we do not accept payment for inclusion or placement.
AI content disclosure
We use AI assistants (such as Claude and GPT) as drafting and research tools. They help us gather source material, structure pages and keep hundreds of exam pages consistent. They do not decide what we publish. Specifically:
- Facts, figures and dates — exam cost, duration, question count, passing score, domain weightings, retirement dates — are verified by a human maintainer against the vendor's official exam page before publication.
- Datasets and page templates are reviewed for accuracy, quality and abuse risk before they are used to generate pages at scale.
- We do not publish unreviewed raw model output.
- We do not publish pure AI output.
Every exam page carries a “last verified” date showing when a human last checked its facts against the vendor source. If something looks wrong or out of date, the vendor's official exam page always wins — and we'd like to hear about it.
How we verify
We build each exam page by:
- Reading the vendor's official exam page and current skills-measured or exam guide document, which is the only source we treat as authoritative for facts.
- Cross-checking price, duration and delivery options against the vendor's scheduling and registration pages, including regional pricing where it differs.
- Confirming retirement, renewal and successor-exam notices against vendor announcements rather than third-party summaries.
- Evaluating prep resources first-hand where possible — we look at the syllabus, publication date and author of every course, book and lab we list, and drop anything outdated or thin.
- Re-checking each page on a review pass and stamping it with a new “last verified” date.
We publish no practice questions or exam dumps. Everything here is informational and written to stay clear of vendor NDAs and copyright.
