"The phrase brain dump refers to the transfer of a large quantity of information from one person or computer to another. As slang, it can describe a hurried explanation of a system, job, skillset, or other software engineering subject. In computing, describes the taking of a snapshot of the internal state of a knowledge database for transfer or archiving purposes." [wikipedia.org]
In certification test, Braindumps
are actual exam questions from certification exams, such as MCSE, MCSA, MCSD, CCIE, CCNA, CCNE, A+, N+ etc.
It is now common to rely on braindumps in your certification preparation. Test questions will no doubt help candidates to better understand the scope and format of certification exams, but large part of certification preparation is to thoroughly understand the test submject in details beside hands-on experience. Braindumps are mostly memorized actual exam
questions, and therefore may be inaccurate. If you use braindumps, you
can give an absolutely wrong answer to an exam question just because the
question looks familiar (while in fact being totally different to the
one you memorized) and you recognize it wrongly. Braindumps simply cannot
be a substitute for months of study and years of experience - especially
in the workplace.
There is
a wealth of certification study materials available online to help you
prepare for your certification exams. For example, free MCSE practice
tests, study guides, books and more are available at: MCSEDirectory.com,
which can be a great starting point in you preparation for MCSE certification.
There are also many sites, forums and newsgroups that allow people to share their certification tips and tricks - and their experiences from actual certification exams - without posting braindumps. One of such sites is CertFAQ.com.
It contains hundreds of answers to frequently asked questions about Microsoft,
CISCO and other certifications, and lots of exam taking, study, employment
tips and tricks.
