Everything runs in cycles. I remember when I first started here. Everything was about learning and helping each other. It seemed like that group passed the exam and the next crew of "me too" birds started chirping. We eventually beat them back, so the group of dedicated folks could grow. They passed their exams, then another crew of birds flew in.

Just be patient and ride out the storm.

Ive tried the braindumps when I studied for A+ and Network+ and came to the conclusion that they all suck. A person takes the cert test, comes online, posts the answers to some of the questions that they insist are correct. Some one else replies: "your full of crap!, this is the REAL answer!" Someone else posts onto the forum: "NO!! your full of crap! THIS is the right answer!" Thats why they are called brain dumps!! I choose a good quality practice exam with good explanations for the answers prior to a cert test. Brain dumps are worthless. So that is my opinion and Im sticking to it. By the way I think this site is excellent. ------Terry

Aside from the fact that braindumps are a violation of your agreement with Cisco, MS, Novell or whoever if someone relies on a dump to pass a test and then is lucky enough to get a job what happens when they are asked to do something they should know how to do and then can't do it?

I see a lot of students where I teach at that get sucked into the dumps and the "I got a higher score than you did" thing and it's sad. It not only reflects poorly on the Institution I teach at when they aren't capable of doing a job they are hired for it degrades the meaning and worth of the certification. I saw a student a couple of quarters ago that got a perfect score on the Win 2k Security exam and was bragging about how he "dumped" it..............pretty lame from my standpoint but that's just my opinion I suppose.

Learn the material, use self-test software but use it as a TOOL not a crutch and when you have beaten yourself to death learning, evaluating and relearning then take the test and you won't need a dump.
