Well, MCNGP guys, I'm a little disappointed that no one actually explained
what a braindump is to the OP. I know we've been over it a billion times,
but IMO, cheating is worse than being lazy, and I'll discourage that at any
cost, even if it is spoonfeeding the lazy.

So, here goes: Braindump sites generally pay people to take the exams. These
people then write down as many of the questions and answers as they can
remember (they "dump" their brains), and turn them in. The braindump sites
then sell you these questions (sometimes poorly worded, misleading, and the
answers are often straight-up wrong). The problem isn't people studying
practice exams. The problem is people are studying from the REAL (or close
to real) exam. This gives an unfair advantage, not to mention a violation of
MS's NDA.

Stick with your Transcender and Measure up. They're original questions based
on the concepts needed to pass the relevant exam. They're not ACTUAL exam
questions.

Hope that cleared it up for you.
