Brain Dumps - counter-measures

Yeah I felt like that- but in the end, the certifications are for me.. so I don't really care what they think\do\don't do. I think it looks as though I'm going to leave them soon actually.. 3 exams within a month, booked another one for next month.. *shh*

But yeah, some people are lucky having a supporting manager, being 'rewarded' with bonuses for gaining certification and having exams/training paid for them!

 

Likely even more than that... people who are qualified enough to truly test you are difficult (expensive) to come by. What would more likely happen is that people who are absolutely unqualified to grade would be put in those positions. Worse, the potential for fraud or negligence on the part of the proctor is huge. Consider a testing center that hired instructors to teach who were also asked to proctor - the temptation for the instructor to pass his/her students would be great. "Yep, all my students passed!" Suuuuure they did... but now the instructor looks good... and all we've done is further devalue the certification.

In a perfect world, it would work... but this ain't a perfect world.

 

..this guy never stops thinking..
BM for President imho!

 

Yep, that's just about it. If you care about certifications, continue to warn people about the dangers of braindumping, or point them here or to CertGuard.com - there are plenty of good explanations to be found.
