    Depressing but unfortunately a reality! icon_sad.gif
    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    In the IT industry, a 'brain ****', usually spelled as a compound word braindump, refers to material that has been memorized, or captured electronically by means of a small device such as a PDA or cell phone with a built in camera, from an IT certification and re-created to provide an almost exact replica of the exam, thus violating most but not all non-disclosure agreement's agreed to prior to the administration an exam.[1] Examinees are often encouraged to remove their personal items other than their identification prior to an exam.[2]


    In certification exams

    The phrase "brain ****" refers to confidential information relating to examinations which is obtained by examinees who memorize, then "****" (record) the information after the examination. Brain **** are most commonly found amongst IT certification exams mainly because the exams are expensive, difficult to pass, and the questions rarely change. These type of brain **** are actual exam questions and answers that users will memorize prior to taking (or sitting for) an exam.

    Brain **** of this sort often constitute cheating because the information acquired was generally taken from material that was meant to remain secure, or information copyrighted or registered as trade secrets. Many of the larger corporations, such as Microsoft, have recently begun fighting back against the companies that mass-produce brain ****.

    Long story short, its cheating and not taking lightly in this community.

    Please do us all a favor and tell the testing center in no uncertain terms that you are disappointed by their endorsement of brain ****. I did so at a particular test center I went to and the instructor was speechless, he had never had someone complain about that before. As a matter of fact, it was what he used to pass most of his exams.

    Later, the school asked me to use my MCP status as a referral for them (they need x amount to continue being considered a MS "Partner" or something) and I turned them down flat for the same reason. They understood at that point how strongly I felt about it, and they then asked if I would ever consider taking another class at their training center, to which I replied if they drop the **** I would consider it.

    yea now that i know all this and i did a bit of reading up on it on my own, i think i know a little better. i definately won't be signing up for any more classes with them but since this current one isnt over just yet i have no choice but to continue it since it's already paid for

    No, they don't use questions stolen from the real exams.
