The problems with brain dumps etc tho is that you'll quicker end up as a paper MCSE instead of a real MCSE...I've seen too many who are just MCSE on paper and when I throw them behind the server they have little idea what to do. It totally degrades the value of the certificate. If you're gonna run through brain dumps etc, at least do the research necessary to see WHY the particular answer is right/wrong instead of just memorising the right ones...cos memorising the answers will only get you so far. Employers won't be so thrilled to find that their newly hired MCSE doesn't know the difference between Active Directory and the Phone Directory...not to mention you will make it that much harder on the next MCSE that they hire...
