Passed 70-305 yesterday

| Thanks for sharing Tim and well done. I've been through
the training kit and agree it doesn't go deep enough in
some areas. Having done a couple of the test exams from
MCSE braindumps I'll be ready to get a high percentage
correct late next week. Fingers crossed.

| MCSEBraindumps!?!?!? *sigh*. It's so, so, so sad that people taking these
tests don't even REALIZE that they are cheating as is clear from Dominic's
apparently innocent post. I guess the value of certifications are
plummeting as we speak. I wonder if it is even worth the $125US to take
them?!?

As Gary mentioned, there's really no luck involved if you've studied
braindumps. Those are very likely questions stolen directly from the exams.
I think you'll be much better off learning the general skills required until
you're able to pass the exam with that alone. It's really not that hard, and
I think the certification will be worth more to you if you know you earned
it instead of effectively stealing it.
It may be too late for this exam, but now that you know what the braindumps
are, ask yourself afterward if you really think you could never have passed
the exam without them. If so, you are frankly in the wrong business. If
that's not the case I think any extra work required will be a great
investment - both for your pride in passing the exam and the fact that it
will necessarily result in greater expertise with the tested subject matter.
