Jeff Dean's book is very long out of date, if you study for the exams based on the books order of topics, you'll fail the exam most likely. The exam topics have changed a lot since that book was published.
Dan Robbins did a great job with his DW tutorials, but there are some out of order and wrong topic on the wrong exam items there too.
The Exam Cram is up to date and while it's got a few little irritating editing goofs in it, a lot of people seem to like it.
I find that LPI is the best juxtaposition of cost and complexity. There isn't another set of exams for Linux at this level that are affordable and can be tested in as many locations.
Red Hat's exams, while rigorous and very well-respected, are quite expensive and often require travel etc.
LPI is aiming at providing an affordable and respected set of exams that will provide a metric of how good a person is at the least.
I have done a lot of LPI training, probably more than anyone else I am aware of, and I can state categorically that if your IBM trainer is talking about the 101 and 102 exams, they are mistaken.
I have seen probably every question in the LPI pools at one time or another and to my knowledge there aren't any places where what you alledge occurs. This is a *vendor/distro neutral* certification and much work has been done to make it free of such situations.
There were a SLCP and SLCE set of SUSE-specific exams that LPI and SUSE had collaborated on, but those are now gone and Novell has it's own NCLP and NCLE that replace those.

BTW, have you taken the exams personally?
