Skill-Guru was started with the intent to create and share your knowledge with the community.  Most of the time we take help from forums , sites and blogs when we are stuck in problem so I thought let there be a site where users can create tests based on their learning and share with others.  I had taken my first certification in year 2000 and next one on year 2004 and had to run around  to look for mock tests.

At that time never heard of brain dump . But these days this is one of the most serached term. “Brain dump for Java certifcation” , “brain  dump for microsoft ” , “brain dump for CCNA” etc.

So what exactly is the brain dump ? Literal meaning -What ever is inside your brain , dump it out ? So what is inside your brain ? The learning which you have from book or your notes ? Nope.

Some one takes the test and after taking test , dumps everything from his brain into a site or blog.  This could be done to help others or the test is taken with sole intent of creating a dump.

There has been a good post by Robert Williams  The cheating industry that is devaluing IT certification. He makes a valid point that to get a certification by use of brain dump is nothing less than cheating and should be discouraged.

There was also a recent news that Microsoft has sued testking for allegedly having the questions exactly same as in original test.

Certification is meant to test your knowledge of what you have learned, to give a seal of approval to your learning. A person who has knowledge and experience , for him certification may not matter much. But just having a certification does not mean that you know your job well.

We at Skill-guru stand behind this principal and discourage brain dumps. Since this is a platform where gurus can come and create test, we do not evaluate each and every questions and do not have means to validate  if it is brain dump or not. If you find anything which is in violation of copyright or illegal , please mail us at support@skill-guru.com and we will take immediate steps.
