They are just as good. I would take it as a positive if it showed up before the 10 minute mark.
Surprisingly, cheap tests purchased at dollar stores or on the Internet are often more sensitive and reliable than expensive store brands. HPT's are like soda: very cheap to make, and marked up quite a bit for retail.

Pretty darn accurate! With my first pregnancy I took one, it was positive, but I told myself that there's no way that's right... so I bought an expensive one only to find out that the one for a dollar was correct.
With this pregnancy I bought some super sensitive tests online that were supposed to detect pregnancy 10 past ovulation, I took one like 2 days before my period was due, and it was neg. then took a dollar store one after being a day late... and it was positive.
So, they seem to work just fine.

They are usually very accurate. Get a doctor's test to be sure.

it probably is accurate my friend took one and it was positive and she went to the doctors and it was right but there is always a chance it is a false positive so go to a drug store a get ept pregnancy test

They are as positive as any other pregnancy tests that are more expansive. Congrats on your pregnancy.
