If you have enough questions, with only a random selection used for each
exam, such guides cease to be a problem.  If every objective has 200 or 500
or however many questions, the "swot for the test" method becomes
impractical.  You can't remember that many answers.  For that matter, the
process of learning the answers to all those questions would pretty much
entails comprehensively gaining the knowledge that's being tested for. 
Either way, it works out OK.  I admit you couold get an idiot with eidetic
memory walk in and pass the test without any real understanding, but I think
that will be rare enough not to worry about.
